Default RE: Ways To Shorten Brace

ORIGINAL: Bigpapascout

Uhm, this is simply not true. How are you measuring brace? From the grip, right? If you construct a grip where the throat is closer to thestring than the original, it is inescapable that you have changed the brace, and will now require a longer draw length.
you have not changed the brace heighth, you have only made the draw longer which will effectively make the bow aproximately 11 FPS faster give or take but the effective brace heighth or the reflex of the riser has remained the same
agin I say the only way to change the effective BH is to shorten the limbs.

Nope. If I just made the draw longer, how would I be able to shoot it? Under this theory, which is wrong BTW, all I would need do is buy a longer draw bow, or use a longer draw module on such a bow. Doing that would make the draw too long for me. By moving the grip back--toward the string--I am now drawing too short by the amount the grip was moved back. I now must change draw by that same amount to get back to the same anchor. In the process, I have also increased stroke.

Think of it this way. What part of your body is affected by either reflex or deflex of the riser? Answer-The bow hand. Why? The grip. Take a look at the bow company with the grip out in front of the riser(I can't recall it right now). Are you also saying they did not change the brace of the bow? If so, we need to symply agree to disagree. But, you are wrong.
