BRACE HEIGHT
The brace height is the perpendicular distance from the bowstring to the pivot point of the
grip. Brace height is important to bow tuning. A higher brace height will decrease arrow
velocity and a lower brace will increase arrow velocity.
Optimum brace height is one that gives smooth action, good arrow flight, tight grouping
and a quiet shot. Generally, slight variations in brace height are not critical, however at
the extremes, you may get erratic arrow flight and/or excessive string noise.
Brace height is changed by twisting or untwisting the bowstring or by using a different
length bowstring.
