Default RE: Brace height question

I think that the idea that "proper form" can be adequately maintained in all hunting situations is where I have a problem with a low brace height bow for hunting. Unless you have a real short draw even with a drop away, the power stroke is longer on the shorter brace height bows and will attenuate form flaws. Hunting doesn't require accuracy so much as it requires forgiveness. Today with the powerful offerings that have a forgiving brace height i don't really see the need for the additional power that a lower brace height offers. Maybe for 3-d for someone who really has their form down and wants the extra speed to help with range estimation, there is an arguement. I don't see it for hunting. I think you need to think about what your needs are as a hunter and have the bow match those needs.
