        Greetings fellow stick slingers

        I recently purchased an older model damon howatt hunter s#HHS4378; 62″; 50# @ 28″.  My draw length is 27″.

        Q: I’m in process of tuning the bow and having an issue with the brace height. It has a B50 Flemish string 58″ and my brace height is only 6.25. Most are at least 7″  Ideas?

          Hi Kevin

          I am hardly an expert on Howatt bows – but believe the brace height should be in the 7.5 – 8″ range. It is my understanding that the factory still makes some of the Howatt bows and they are sold thru Martin Archery,  you might give them a call. I personally always try to find out the bowyers / factory recommendation for brace height and stay within it – less chance of future problems — . As you know, twisting the string in and out is done to adjust brace height. Since you are only getting 6.25 with the string you have, I am wondering if it is the right string ( too old / worn /)? Martin might have, or recommend where to purchase the proper size/type string for their bow.

          A Howatt collector on another site had a number for the (Howatt) factory – 509 248 6900 – might be worth a try.

            I believe the later Martin labeled Hunters were 7 3/4″. Maybe yours would be still close to that.
