Micro 355 Brace Height Question

Post by drkeenan »

Out of the box my string is about .5 - .75 inch off the bumbers. Is this too much? I've kept my previous Micro and Matrix 330 at .25 inch off bumber.

Thoughts??

With a new string i go a half inch in a day or so it will settle to a quarter i like a quarter inch on my micros off tbe bumbers when it goes to three sixteenths i give a twist or two back to a quarter......with dr stririp bumpers im at an eigth. They want them touching but i like a tiny gap.

This is one of the best use of a chronograph, to find your brace height and make your bow more efficient. Ideally, you want to play with the brace height to get your highest speed.

My micro chronoed fastest with the lowest brace height (eigth inch) but i dont think its best for its short little limbs. Knock on fiberglass the fist generation bow is still splinter free.... original limbs with a jillion shots .maby im just lucky or i got a good one.micro limbs remind me of my italian greyhounds skinny little legs thin fragile but powerful lol

2 inches from the riser joint on my micro 355 was fastest.
