Q: I purchased this bow for my daughters to use at SCA events for target shooting contests. I have a concern on bracing height of the bow. We used the pre-finished wooden shafts, and trimmed them down to fit my daughters'(luckily they are both the same)draw length. In test shooting, the bow shoots smoothly, but seems as if it is hitting my wrist at the end of the shot, usually from the base of my hand to about 1" back...very small area. I am going to have them try it, but I was wondering if you could suggest a proper brace height for this bow. I understand the concept of twisting the string to increase the brace height, but I don't want to over-do it and make the bow harder to shoot for them, or over stress the limbs of the bow. Thanks for the info! Asked on 8/16/2012 by Viking Guy Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: It does sound like the brace height is too low. That type of bow will normally have a lower brace height somewhere between 6" and 7". I would recommend raising the brace height by a 1/4" or 1/2" at a time until the string stops hitting your bow hand and wrist. If the string is hitting your arm it should be at least 2" to 3" up your forearm. Answered on 8/17/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery

Answer this question 1 answer A: The Medieval war bow is 6 feet tall, so may be a little big for your 13 year old (depending how tall they are) but the weight is a good fit. If they are under 5' 6" I would go with a shorter bow, but otherwise it should be good. Answered on 12/30/2010 by Johnathan Karch from 3Rivers Archery
