Pdq & JeffB, I really hate to admit it but I've really been dumb for more than just one day<img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle> On that day I was really lucky and am glad I'm here to tell you I'm smarter now<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> The only thing is now I've got a bigger tractor!

Pinwheel12, I wonder if there is a certain formula one could come up with to find out what brace height would be considered forgiving for short draw shooters? Say a 7 inch is the acceptable minimum for a 30 inch shooter, could one assume that a slightly lower brace would be as forgiving for a 26 inch shooter? Otherwise a short draw shooter would be giving up more of the power stroke and speed. I'm thinking about the duration the arrow is on the string in relation to the time the bow is reacting to the torque induced to the bow by the shooter. Another example would be a 33 inch shooter with a bow that has a 7 inch brace. Am I confused yet?
