BOW PARTS AND TUNING

  • The brace height on your bow should be between 6 1/4" and 7 1/4" (usually 7").
  • Your nock set height should be between 1/2" and 3/4" above the center line.
  • Bow can and will tune outside of these parameters.  These are the manufacturer's settings.
  • There are three ways to tune your recurve bow:
          1) Brace Height
          2) Nock Set Height
          3) Arrow Spine
  • You will need an arrow chart to select proper aluminum arrow or weight of bow for wood and carbon arrows.

 

  • Brace Height = distance between innermost part of bow grip and front of bowstring.
  • Nock Set Height = distance of nock set above the centerline of the bow shelf.
