I always measured mine from the throat of the grip. I think Bill told me to do it that way but I may me imagining that.

Pops, already checked their site and noticed the different location for checking the brace.Just curious if ALL Zipper were, or are measured like that,including the one's that Bob Thompson made.Seems out of the Norm to measure there! Thanks!

Bob Thompson is the one who decided that the brace height would be measured at the edge of the shelf. When I asked him why the edge of the shelf instead of the deepest part of the grip like the rest of the world? He told me "so that when using a bow square you can check your nock set at the same time." Made since to me so we kept it that way. If you want to measure to the deepest part of the grip then go with that.Either way is fine. Just be sure to add the distance from the deepest part of the grip to the edge of the shelf.
