Default RE: For you techies Brace Heigth, ATA and accuracy

Yep..too many variables take a big part in accuracy other than brace and length...My current #1 bow is 34" axle to axle and i shoot it as accurately or more accurately than any longer bow I've had (Though generally a longer bow is more stable to shoot).


However, I have owned both of the bows you speak of (2001) models and I can say that the Mighty Mite is definitely more forgiving in my hands. Bowtech grips are fairly big, and any extra torque or mistakes show up more than normal when that brace height decreases. The Mighty Mite also balances and holds better both before and after the shot in your hand. It's no slouch if you are worried about speed either. It's as fast or faster than my Darton Maverick w/ over an inch higher brace height (though it has a harder draw force curve).

The Extreme Solo is definitely an apt name...it's an extreme bow. It's not nearly as critical to shoot as some ultra speed bows, but it's not what I'd call forgiving either.

If you would like forgiveness w/ some speed in the Bowtech line then go w/ a Pro 38 or Stalker. The new Patriot looks promising as well (and probably will be my next bow purchase).
