Q for the experts - what factors/features (ATA, brace height, weight, single vs dual cam, IBO, etc) most impact a bow’s forgiveness for a shooter with less than ideal form?

talking compounds specifically

Probably brace height.

brace height and very little reflex. you want your grip as close to right below the limbs pockets as you can get. so a straight riser design with a 7.5 brace height is a shooter for sure

I’m shooting the shortest, lowest brace height bow I’ve ever had and it definitely forces you to practice good form every shot. It’s not as easy but will make you better.
