Brace Height, brace height, brace height

So you have found the right arrow, you've found your bow's perfect brace height and your arrows are flying like bullets. Then one day a few weeks later you are shooting and suddenly your arrow flight isn't as perfect as you remember.

I shoot all year and this scenario seems to play out with me over and over throughout the year. I'll be shooting for a few nights and my arrows aren't flying well and I chalk it up to "Well I guess I'm just not in the groove" or "My release must not be perfect". But most of the time I check my brace height and it's 6-3/4" instead of 7" where my bow has to be.

I just did it again and instantly my arrow flight improved. I think that's why I missed that gobbler last week at 10 steps...Yeah thats it.

Check your brace height often. Just may bring back the joy in your shooting.

Shoot 'em straight T.J.

Is it possible for the tiller or limb angle to change if the bow is getting shot a lot? I have an older Howatt Mamba, and a Hi Speed. I made a bow hanger shelf that they both sit on when not strung. I had both of them strung for weeks and had been shooting them regularly I noticed my brace height changed yesterday after a lengthy shooting session. I unstrung the bows added some twists to the strings and put them back unstrung on the shelf. I noticed they don't sit the same on the shelf! The limbs seem to be more flat? On the Mamba the lower limb seems to be more forward then it was before. Is this possible?

String streching? Is it a new string or maybe a poorly made Flemish twist??(bundles not tensioned together)? Brace is streching out as you describe it IMHO.
