Just a statistics suggestion…… Find out the recommended brace height of specific bows by their builders first. Then run a test of each 1” lower and 1” higher than the builder recommended brace height. Would be more realistic for practical shooting.
So one thing I've been wondering about this. How did you achieve different brace heights? Are you using the same bow and just putting different length strings on them? If so, it makes me wonder how different arrow speeds would be if the bows were designed from the start with those brace heights in mind? For example, most bows are designed with around an 8 inch brace height in mind. So the bow would be tillered with a string that would give it an 8 inch brace height, to around 40 pounds or whatever the intended draw weight is. If you then swap out the string for a string that's 2 inches longer, to bring the brace height down to 5 inches, then you're losing tension on the bow at the brace height, and probably losing total draw weight at the full draw length. To properly test this, I think you'd want to design a bow from the start with a 5 inch brace height, and tiller the bow with that string so that it's the intended draw weight at full draw. This test does prove that brace height impacts arrow speed, but I believe the results would be more significant if you're using bows that are designed for those brace heights instead of just swapping strings. Unless I misunderstood this test. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Like Jay Kidwell says about making as much constant possible, like anchor, release, and vertical. But it's easier said than done without much practice. Good video.
Hey bro..I have been watching your content for a long time. I can see the maturity in your body lol..I see the dad bod coming along quite nicely 🤣🤣 I'm in the same boat. I need to start gyming again. After we had a baby. Our schedule just changed and it's difficult to time manage lol. But I gotta hit the jump rope soon lol. My point is that being in shape actually helps with archery. I feel my arms are weaker with the higher poundage bows.
Every compound I've found that the longer a.2.a. & longer brace height is more accurate but slower. I have a little longer draw & I found that the 34" Prime was a little more efficient & quicker than the shorter models. With a recurve a 62" feels natural. I'm thinking for hunting purposes I could shoot a 58" reflex/deflex. The new auction for the 3 new Planet builds only shows #2 of 4. At the end of the auction is the #2 bow the only bow selling? Are all 3 bows selling / or the other 2 going in separate auctions?
I have a self bow with a handel that is about 1.75 inches thick. Do I measure from the back of the bow or from palm side of handle to the string? Thanks. @@ShatterproofArchery
It's excellent! How are about 6 inches, 7 inches, 9 inches, and 10 inches ? You should have more data points! Please add more points. It's an important test!
After actually watching the video I agree, you have to stay within the design parameters of the manufacturer. A lower brace allows more energy transfer into the arrow and also generates less pre-load tension which is more gentle on the limb.

That was part of the function of a crest ,(when you put an arrow on the bow) you imediatly new if your brace height changed
That was part of the function of (cresting). You would know if your brace height changed immediately!
I can consistantly miss the target, i'm the best archer in the world, yeah!

another nice video. What bow are you shooting in this video is it one of yours with the walnut handle?
Brooooooo, when are you getting more of your limb attached quivers??!?!?!
I wonder if with a compound bow it will be different

Great points and great question! If you follow this link you should be able to see all 3 bows: www.shatterproofarchery.com/collections/auction-today
@@ShatterproofArchery I wasn't able to check out the auction. Is it over? Watch out for the weather over there Kramer. Yikes!
Thanks good video 👍
Interesting video!
Good video! I’m curious though, how do you determine the brace height of a homemade bow?
Usually between 7-8.5" is good but you can shoot it at different brace heights and see what feels best.

Very cool! 😀
It's excellent!

Never showed how to check brace height.
Yes because power stroke.

Yellow hand man lol
