Mike, you made the "blanket" brace statement regarding ACS 4G limbs....
A good way to find the sweet spot with any riser and the ACS limbs is to go 7 1/4" from the end of the riser to the string on both sides. The limbs become rock stable there and will preform their best.

Mike

Is there a similar brace advice likely to give good results with the EPIC longbow limbs?
Thanks in advance.........

Steve,

No the Epic longbow limb is a real workhorse and likes just about any setup you throw at it. I doesn't have the high preload of the ACS limbs so is very stable at almost any brace.

I've shot my Epic longbow limbs at 6.75" to 7.25" brace and they shoot great and very stable

How about the epic curves?

Brace on the curves depend on the riser. On ours it likes about 7 3/4. You can tell by looking at where the string comes off of the curve. It should hit the end of the curvature and come off smoothly, not short or wrap beyond the curve.

Having great success with my ilf Epic longbow (glass/boo) braced at 7.25 from the throat.
