How good are Black Widow Bows?
On my end of it, Black Widow Bows are definitely worth every penny. I own two of their longbows and I couldn’t be happier with their quality, craftsmanship, and durability. They are smooth to shoot and when I have the right combination of arrows, they shoot where I am looking.
What is the bow’s brace height?
A bow’s brace height is the distance from the grip’s deepest part to the bowstring. When you get your bow, you’ll set its brace height based on the manufacturer’s recommendation, which is the range the bow is designed to shoot. You need to experiment in that range, and find the spot where your bow shoots best.
Does brace height affect arrow flight?
Brace height decreases the power stroke of the bow. That means if you have a perfect arrow that hits where you want, if you increase the BH, you lose a slight amount of stroke, which will make your arrow hit slightly to the left (if you are righthanded).
Does brace height really matter?
Depending upon the bow’s cam system, bows with longer brace heights generally shoot slower than those with shorter brace heights. But, sacrificing speed comes with undeniable benefit. A longer brace height puts more distance between the throat of the bow grip and the bowstring.
