Anyone know what the brace height recommendations are on the 21st Century longbows built by Jim Ploen, or at least a recommended starting point?

Here's a pic of the flyer from B&J Archery I received with my 21st century years ago.

I run my 70" Edge at 7 1/4. Looks like that's a little lower than recommended but that seems to be the sweet spot on mine.

I also like mine around 7" for my 68" nova which is a little lower than recommended.

Mine does not have what model it is written on it, just a serial number. Bought it from Jim Ploen when we were on a hunt in South Texas years ago and don't remember what he told me the brace height was. It is 52# and 62in. long.
