Brace height is the distance between the bowstring and the deepest point of the grip (pivot point) when the bow is drawn. It is usually measured in inches.

Significance:

  • Affects shooting behavior and noise
  • Influences hand shock
  • Part of bow tuning

Too low brace height:

  • Louder shot
  • More vibration
  • Unstable arrow flight

Too high brace height:

  • Slightly less speed
  • Smoother shooting experience

Adjustment:

  • Brace height is set by twisting the string in or out.
