RA,

Some will argue that the distance and time spent on the string also plays into the "forgiveness" equation. The longer the arrow is on the string, whether it be distance (long draw) or time from a lower brace height- the greater the chance that the archer induces errors into the launch of the arrow. What if an archer had an absurd draw length of 40"? During that loooong path of the power stroke (and the time on string) there's more opportunity for something to be torqued or moved as compared to someone with a 25" draw length.
