I use to shoot a Bowtech Black Knight 2, and I think it had a 5.5" brace height. I can't remember exactly, but I could shoot that thing very well. I mean really accurate. I've only got a 27" draw length though so that might have helped Me a little bit. I could shoot 27" draw 62 pounds peaked out with a 320 grain arrow at 310 fps. I was pretty happy with it. I just started looking for smaller bows is the only reason I got rid of it. Quite a few deer, and 1 turkey died because of the BK2. It seems now though I try to look at bows above 6.5" brace height. Even though I never seemed to have a problem with that one.
