Just purchased 62 inch Bob Lee Elite Classic. What's the brace height on this bow would be?

That would be 7 5/8 to 7 3/4. Have fun with your BL. They make a fine bow.

Suggest that you start at 7 5/8 shoot 3 or so arrows paying attention to how the bow feels and sounds. Then increase 3 twists and shoot 3 arrows again. If it feels better go 3 more twists etc until it starts getting worse. I shoot mine at 8.125"

The recommended brace height from the Bob Lee website is 7 3/4 to 8".

Did you buy it used? When bought new, the lads at Bob Lee bows send an informational sheet detailing the minimum arrow weight and recommended brace height. For example, my 62" bicentennial states on the sheet a recommended BH of 8" whereas my 60" ultimate is 7.75". Of course, everyone's BH will be different. My bicentennial is set at 8 1/8" and my ultimate is at 8 1/4".

Great bunch of guys, I tell ya. My ultimate was well past the 2 year warranty and they still refinished the limbs for free. For next year I think I will buy a presentation 3!

I am with Bob Lee and keep my 62" at 8 inches. RonL

This is what JJ told me: "It should be kept about 8” (+/- 1/8”)".
