Read an article last night about speed bows vs non speed bows. This is the second time I have read an article on this. Basically, they say that some speed bows are more accurate than non spped bows. They said the shorter the brace height, the more accurate. Something about the arrow being on the bow longer causesthe margin for error toincrease. I think that's what it said. I know it's true for me, I guess. The X force i had was not as forgiving as the Ally I have.

I agree if you have them shot out of a shooting machine. What I mean is some people can't shoot a shorter brace as well as they can shoot a longer (more forgiving brace), I guess in the end it would depend on the shooter and what level they are at in their shooting, or what style fits that shooter best. When you shorten the brace that will amplify any shooting error's...

I think TexasBowHunter said it pretty good. Out of a machine, the BH would not affect accuracy. However, out of MY hand, BH is very important. With that being said, I have shot short BH bows before that shot very, very good. So, a lot depends on the bow and how well YOU shoot that bow. Some one on here asked yesterday about buying a bow before shooting it and this is why shooting a bow first is so important.

One could also make the argument that a shorter brace height would be less accuratre because of the arrow being on the string for a longer period of time and thus subjected longer and impacted greater by poor form, grip, release, etc.
I had a discussion about this a while back, and Arthur, I believe explained it pretty well that there's a lot more going on that will effect arrow flight than just brace height. If anything, I would say it's a more logical argument to make that they are more inaccurate, but then again, like Arthur said, I think there's more variables involved than just that.
Edit...wait...the article said that speed bows are more accurate than non-speed bows because the shorter brace height INCREASES the margin of error?
yeh, it was something to that effect. He made a comparison to flint lock vs in line ML, saying the in line are more accurate because you don't have to hold the follow through as long or something, I need to re read the article. Doesn't make sense to me either.

MGH hit it. ACCURACY is very subjective, I think FORGIVNESS is more important. There isn't a bow out there that I can shoot to the level of accuracy that the bow has. I'm not that good, nor is anyone walking the planet. So forgivness is where it is. LONGER BH bows are more forgiving, because the arrow is on the sting a less amount of time. Less time for the shooter to mess up. And, generally speaking, a longer BH bow is slower, also making it more forgiving. We know that the faster an arrow is flying the more it is affected by shooting/form flaws. Speed amplifies mistakes.
