Maybe that's why I continue to enjoy the bow so much... because I'm getting good speed (basically, from what it sounds like from all the Bowtech junkies -- about what they're getting... 276 fps with string leeches, brass nock, eliminator button. I know, I know... I'm not getting the kinetic energy those guys are getting. Beat ya to it, Matt! ), and still can have very good form with a 7 and a 1/2 inch brace height, but my effective brace with the launcher arms being an inch and a half rearward gives me the speed I'm looking for. Hmmm.
