brace height
 

where does the brace height measurment come from?

RE: brace height
 

From the string to the inner most part of the grip.

RE: brace height
 

thank you. Having answered that, how does brace height affect shooting?

RE: brace height
 

examples

30 inch draw length with a 8 inch brace height gives a 22 inch power stroke.

30 inch draw length with a 5 inch brace height gives a 25 inch power stroke.

The higher the brace height the more forgiving the bow because it has a shorter power stroke and the arrow gets off the string sooner.
Leaving less time for human error.

RE: brace height
 

excellent definition. thanks....so then, does the shorter brace height equate to less speed?

RE: brace height
 

Exact oppisite.

The lower the brace height the faster it would be.

The lower brace would give a longer power stroke thus making more speed:)
