There ya'go. Where one measures from is pretty important.

I’m pretty sure that’s a 1975 model.

Number 22 built 04/75. I have found the specs from their catalogs to be pretty accurate in tuning “Fistmele” on my 75” and 72” Utopians. Www.vintagearchery.org is a great site.

They definitely need a high brace , my ‘71 62” Perfection Sitka runs 10 1/2” from the back or 8 7/8” from the deepest part of the grip which is the more typical spot to measure.
