Basic Recurve checks
It is important that we understand some basic setup features of a recurve bow. These include Brace Height, Tiller, Nock Height, and Centre Shot. Below are some video links to Jake Kaminski's videos on each subject.
Brace height is the distance between the string and the pressure button (or throat of the grip). It's best to pick one method and stick to it. You will need a brace height gauge for this.
