I' m getting ready to deck out my new bow (which I still don' t have[:@]) and am wondering about the benfits of a higher brace height vs. a capture rest.
It is my understanding that the benfit of a higher brace height is that the arrow leaves the string quicker, thus reducing the amount of error placed on the arrow if the shooter should move his arm after the release is triggered.
If your shooting a capture rest (WB) it seems to me that the arrow would be subject to any arm movements until it clears the rest.

Would using a capture rest make an 8" brace height vs. a 7" brace height a moot point?

I currently have both of my bows set up with WB and love the arrow staying on the rest for hunting (which is all I do, no 3-d). I like being able to set the bow across my lap and still have the arrow ready for action. Although I wouldn' t mind a WB on my new bow, if it' s gonna make the 8" brace height shoot just like my 7' s, I' ll do something else. Thanks for any advice.
