    Are they both cut to center or is recurve cut past center . The reason if your used to shooting a bow that is cut past say 3/16 or an 1/8 then you shoot a bow that is cut to center you are going to shoot left or vice versa on the bow. I sometimes shoot an old bow used to shoot that's cut to center I will shoot left regardless of arrow combinations because I shoot past center because that's what I am used to now. Just something to check on.

        See if they're both cut the same (center, past center, before center). If you're shooting with the quiver on one and off the other it will make a difference. Also, grip will make a big difference if the grips are different. You may be torquing one or the other. If you know your arrows are tuned those are the 3 things I'd look at... shelf, quiver, grip.

          I chedked last night and the longbow shelf is cut slightly deeper. So, I built the shelf out a little and it definately improved it but still not spot on. So, I moved up to 10 yards and took my focus completely off the arrow as i drew the bow. Normally I look straight down the arrow as I am drawing the bow and just before I hit anchor i switch ALL of my focus to the target. Once I started NOT looking down the arrow while drawing and focused on the target from the start of the draw cycle, things started getting ALOT better. After 20 or so shots I really started to get dialed in again. This is the strangest thing to figure out, but I think we are about there. I really appreciate all the help.........even from Jeff

              Hollering calf rope is a way of saying "I give up!"

                  DRT I am full of old sayings. For instance, right now my form is as jacked up as a cat in a fanbelt!

                  update on the longbow saga. I shot my cedar arrows out of the longbow last night and they hit exactly where I was looking. So, I'm starting to think my carbon arrows are out of tune arrows. I have no idea why they shot so well during deer season. One of life's little mysteries..............
