Rangeball is right-I did just go through this. The vast majority of the people who frequent archery boards are going to tell you higher is better. I am in the minority and there are several reasons. First, I shoot a short draw. At only 27", my arrow is not on the string as long as a guy shooting 30", so the low brace will not affect me nearly as much. I actually wanted the Outback a bit more than the LX, but I just did not want to give up another inch of cycle, not did I like the idea of a custom grip that would in effect lower the brace and allow me to shoot a longer cam.

Second, I have been shooting a long time, and I think I have fairly decent form. My release may not be all that great, but I think I get in a good enough position to shoot low braces well.

As Rangeball said, I am shooting the best of my life. Could I shoot slightly smaller groups with an 8" brace? Likely so. OTOH, I am a hunter only. I have never shot a competition in my life and have no real plans to do so. The vast majority of my shots at game are 25 yards or under. Even still, if I know the range(I shoot a few objects with my range finder from the stand) I feel very comfortable out to at least 35 yards.

I would suggest shooting the LX. If you can shoot it with no arm slap I see no reason to eliminate it just based on brace alone.
