There are so many things to consider regarding your bow. The specs include so many parameters, it’s hard to even know what each of them means. One of the more overlooked terms is the brace height. In this post, I’m going to explain what brace height is on a bow, and why it’s an important feature to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brace height is the distance between the farthest part of the grip and the bowstring, when at rest. It’s an important feature for recurve and traditional archers. A lower brace height bow will release faster arrows but will be less forgiving to errors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As you progress as an archer, you should start thinking about small details regarding your form, but also your gear. Understanding every single line in the specs of your bow is a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m going to detail how to make the measurement, how to adjust it on the bow, and how it affects your shots.

You simply need to measure the distance between the pivot point, which is the farthest part of your grip, to the bowstring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The pivot point is located on the riser of your bow, at the deepest part of the grip. It’s typically aligned with the pressure buttonholes in the riser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When taking the measurement, you should make sure to have your measuring tool at 90 degrees angle with the bowstring. Taking the measurement at the wrong angle will result in a high reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to measure brace height<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
