hobbes,

I was not trying to be picky so I do hope that you did not take my last post in that manner. That particular issue is a misconception that we all have made at one time or another.

Len was also correct about not being able to change the brace height without changing anything else on the bow. For the sake of a theoretical argument I think your example could be used but, as illustrated, there are other design factors that need to be considered.
