Brace Height adjustment - how?Ok - so my stupidity has hit me square in the face.
I've done lots of reading about recurves - and there's much talk of brace height. I know what this is, it's the measurement from the throat of the grip to the string. However, how does one adjust this?
Do you increse/decrease the number of twists in the string?
Do you use the tiller adjustments on the riser? (if you do this, how do you keep the positive-tiller in the upper limb constant over the bottom limb)?
I'm a little confused and happy to admit I need help

To adjust bracing height - add/subtract twists on string. The tillering adjustments will, as the name suggests, alter the tiller, not the bracing height. Check with the manufacturers of your bow to find out what the bracing height range should be, and where they measure it from.

I have never heard of adjusting it with the tiller, i have always done it with twists in the string. More twists to increase the brace height.
I would leave the tiller alone if its correct.

I concur, twist the string to alter brace, as for measuring brace height, most modern bows are from the throat of the grip. the best way is to experiment until you find the bows sweet spot, the bow will tell you when it's right (honest)
A lower brace will give you a longer power stoke, a little faster with less pre-load and a little less for giving
A high brace will give a shorter and more forgiving power stroke, with a little less speed.
