Straightarrow,
The reason I brought up the issue of distance versus time on different brace height bows is because if you do the actual math then the time issue isn't quite as prominent as the distance is.
What I am trying to say is that if you do the math and compare a 7 inch brace height bow shooting an arrow at 290 fps with a 6 inch brace height bow shooting an arrow at 310 fps then you will see that the actual time that both stay on the string is very, very close. The reason for this being that the shorter brace height bow, though it has a longer powerstroke, pushes the arrow faster over that distance.....
...so the "time issue" isn't so much important as the distance of the powerstroke.
Ossage,
I would tend to agree with you to some extent....

...there are many other factors that affect the "forgiveness level" of any given bow...but I, personally, feel that brace height is probably the biggest.
