brace height

[chiefks]

Some bows have a short brace height, some have a much longer brace height. How much difference does brace height make?

[nodog]

depends on how well you shoot. If you have a sloopy release it means a lot. It's all about how long the arrow remains in the system before it can no longer be effected by you. You also have to do the math. Shorter dl's/longer dl's figure into it. I personaly prefer a long one. Mines almost 8. I like to go home with what I shoot at and it helps me get'r done.

if you have not so good form you will be very inconsistent shooting a short Brace heighth bow and will probably get slapped in the wrist a lot due to the shorter Brace heighth.

If you have good form and consistent shooter you will have little to no problems shooting a shorter brace heighth bow.
the only benefit to using a short Brace heighth bow is speed and on some brand bows not enough to sacrafice consistancy for the few extra FPS.
