That's the rumor but not everyone agrees. I personally would like to see the numbers because I've heard both sides.
-A higher BH stacks more power in the limbs and increases it's poundage, giving it more speed
-A lower BH keeps the string in the nock longer giving it a longer "power stroke" and more momentum and greater speed.
The second point (seems like it) would be true if you compare 2 bows with the same weight but at different brace heights. But if you are just using ONE bow?
I'm on the higher BH/more poundage side of the fence, but it's just a feeling. I never tested it with a chrono.
