Default Wrist and grip

I hear a lot of "High wrist grip" or "Low wrist grip" references and I have an idea of what we're talking about but not sure.

I assume low wrist means just that. Palm nearly flat against the butt of the riser with the fingers, if extended pointing at an upward angle.

High wrist, I'm guessing, has the the wrist in more of a "locked" or extended position with the fingers, again if extended, pointing more outward toward the target.

Am I even close on this?

And what is the most accurate as a general concensus? Or is it again more personal feel.

If the way I see it is correct it would seem that there can be quiet a variable in drawlength for any given archer depending on high or low wrist? I mean I measured the distance btw where my palm hit the riser with my guess of "low wrist" and there's 1 5/8" difference (longer) switching to high wrist.

Pros and cons either way? Or am I way off base with this?

Any one got a digital and a little time?
