Nothing set in stone on any bow.  I build the one piece Binghams and tend to keep the brace height as low as possible.  Usually around 7".  An arrow pass cut closer to center tends to make lower brace heights easier to use

I have built a few of the pronounced T/D longbows in the 62" range. Mine seem to like somewhere in the 8.5-9" range. That high of a brace height took a little to get used to but they shoot REALLY quiet in that range.
