Straightarrow,
you are very correct..depending on how the torque is appllied makes the difference

Higher brace bows that are torqued may or may not have as much impact on the severity of the mistake. Other factors come into play like riser style, for example. A high brace bow w/a deflex riser might not show the same amount of deviation as a bow w/ highly reflexed riser w/ similar brace height.

Brace height primarily effects "follow through"..how you react from the moment the string starts to come back to brace height. If your follow through is good and consistent, a low brace bow might not pose a problem. But you could also be torquing the grip or string at the same time and drop your bow arm straight down at the shot..a combination of mistakes.Or you could eb a "grip grabber" and cause the bow to torque at the shot..there's so many things..

A bow with more mass is more resistant to folow through and torque problmes generally. with folow through the heavy mass weight keeps one from moving the bow as much. Same w/ a long axle to axle, it helps stabilize the bow so that it's harder to move. A combination of heavy and long is doubly effective.

There are also other forms of torque. You could anchor improperly (usually too hard) and cause the string to come out the natural path of travel (this is where high letoff can hurt you,as it's harder to feel this mistake). Usually when you do this, you also end up torquing the grip as well causing a double mistake.

Then there is torquing or twisting the string with the release.This is one big reason why string loops and rope releases have become so popular: you can get away w/ a bit more of a mistake, but they are not without there own problems too. depending on where the grip is centered on the riser, it may cause up and down torque as well (putting too much pressure on the nock, and/or grip). Sometimes people just cannot get a good up/down paper tear with a loop, and this is often the culprit assuming it's not something technical like out of time cam/s or improper arrow spine.

There are a ton of variables involved..you can't always just say "ok..high brace, long length, and mass weight are best", but that is the best place to start for consistent accuracy 9 times out of 10.
