The term " forgiving" is too loosely used. I am also guilty at times.

No bow is " forgiving." To forgive generally means that one pardons a wrong. I do not have to tell you that, so far, a bow will never forgive a mistake, auto correct the mistake, and then allow your arrow to fly as though a wrong did not occur.

All bows are sensitive. Some are more sensitive than others.

As for brace height, two general beliefs apply. 1: The higher the brace, the sooner the arrow leaves the string and the bow. The sooner the arrow leaves the string and the bow, the less chance there is for something you do wrong to affect the flight of the arrow. 2: Lower brace heights are more prone to wrist or arm contact.

I am not sure I buy into #1. However, I do #2.
