The best brace height is the one you can maintain year around . . .in other words, there is no best. You simply need to pick a height and keep it there. Otherwise, your accuracy will not be consistant on the vertical plane. A brace height closer to the riser will give you a little added speed, but not much. Just find a spot you like and keep it there. Make it far enough back to keep your string from hitting the riser on the follow-thru.

actually you only have to take the stroing off one end. Gine the string 2 or 3 twists and try again if brace hight is down. Mine shoots best when it's set about 3/4' above bottom line (there are two lines on the tiller, the string should be between them).
