Default RE: An observation/question on Brace Height and Shooting...

well I used to think that too.Until I shot a maverick with a 6 1/2 " BH.If I was a knuckle dragger like AP who shot fingers,then I would be more concerned with BH.But for us smurfs low BH is not a problem.We really should be thinking more of Power stroke and that is dependant on your draw length.I can shoot a 6" BH with a 28" draw and still have a shorter power stroke than someone with a longer draw length.Of course a longer power stroke has advantages if you can shoot good.Those of us with short draws need the extra stroke to keep up with you tarzans with 31" draw lengths.The only other isssue is arm slapping.I think many people have problems because they are shooting a little long on draw length. We bow hunt in tee shirts so it' s not that much of an issue.In short if you are a release shooter with good form and an average or short draw length don' t get too hung up on BH.
