Maybe we should call it " shooter friendly" instead of more forgiving.

With shorter brace heights (and short axle lengths) - hand placement, hand torque, and arm slap (espeacially if the bow is a little long) play an important role. Longer axle-to-axle plays and important role also. If you look at just about all your top 300 indoor shooters they are shooting long axle to axle bows with longer brace heights.

So why not shoot a 44" axle to axle with an 10" brace height?

You really cant find them any more.
There hard to tote around in the bushes.
They are also generally much slower than shorter axle/brace height bows.

Hope this helps a little bit.
