Brace is somewhat subjective.
There may be a zone of usable brace.
Typically i have to run my recurves at the higher end.
Sometimes just over the " recommended" brace height.
Mentioned that on a couple forums and all hell broke loose. LOL
I shoot medium weight arrows and have a decent release ( tab ). Get great paper tune without much effort ( only one bow gave me a bit of headache ).
Over 30 recurves, right or wrong my system/ style works for me. Since I hunt, i try to get my bows on the quiet side, so a higher brace works.
If I was shooting lighter poundage and doing 3d, then I might try to brace low for some zip.
Im not tolerant of shock or noise so am content to stay in the more comfy region.
