I'm just getting started in traditional archery and a little confused about brace height. I am accustomed to working on my compound and having a specific brace measurement to set to. My recurve has a range of 7-8 as listed on Hoyt's website. Will my bow shoot equally well at any setting within this range or can I find a brace that is optimal for my set-up? It is at 7 right now, what can I expect if I increase this to 8? Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
For every inch of brace you lose/gain 4% of performance. The key is to find the height that shoots the quietest on any given bow and produces the least hand shock.
Shooting well at 7.75
My GMII is most quiet at 7-7/8 inch brace height.
