For those of you that are running the new uukha’s, what brace height are you running?
I have longs on a 17” riser—62 inch bow.
When it’s at 7.5-8” there is a LOT of string groove showing. At 7.5” there’s over an inch of the string groove beyond string contact.

Don't have any personal experience but Uukah's website suggests 7.79" for a 62" bow. The common 13% of bow length would suggest 8.06".

Just keep playing with it... you'll find the sweetspot.

So do y'all think string grooves are any guide as to when it’s close?
Why would there be so much groove showing?

I don't think the length of the grooves should be a guide for anything.

I don't know why they've cut the grooves the way they did. Heck, I had a Bear Polar that didn't have any strings grooves at all. :unsure:

Well I continue to learn things! I always figured the manufacturers knew what they were doing and put them there with purpose.

I shot them at a very low brace and they actually like it. It was the least buzzy.
I did not go up to 8 inches though. Maybe I should try it.
