The bracing height is measured from the pressure point of the handle to the string or as the button hole is normally vertically above the pressure point most folk’s measure to that.

The bracing height does affect the bows performance as the variation in the brace height changes the power stroke and also when the arrow is released from the string.

Try this download http://www.archersreference.co.uk/download.html for all the info you may need.
(Many thanks to Murray for producing it)

The recommended bracing height for your Winact should be included in your owners manual, and yes if the bracing height is incorrect it will influence your bows performance.

This maybe of some use to you.

I shoot a Winact with Angel Magesty strings, This has a lower brace height than fastflight and some other bow strings.
