I have some gold tips that are tuned real well to my Horne Trad. long bow 55#@28"maybee a touch nock high..I picked up my Black Widow PSA 64#@28" and shot the horne tuned arrows through it. To my complete suprise these same arrows flew almost perfect out of the Black Widow.
Do i have a release problem or what is going on.
28 3/4" in 3555 GT 50 grain brass insert and 250 field point up front, nock adapter and 50 grain weight in the rear.
Any input is appreciated.

Talco,
There a several factors that could account for that. I have had the same experience shooting bows that had more center shot than the other bow.
Before you break out the glasses for a toast, I would bear shaft them just to make sure. Like Ken Beck says, many times we just think the arrows are flying well. If they are, hats off, and thank the good Lord, cause it don't happen often....

They probley are flying good. I am lucky enough that I shoot 3355 GT from my Morrison 54# and I can put my 59# lumbs on and the same arrows shoot great. I have shot them through paper and got several people to stand behind me and watch the arrow and they fly great. But what got me was my buddy shoots a 60# compound and my arrows fly great out of it. They fly so fast I can't really watch them fly but we shot them through paper and a perfect hole. But I have a 60# long bow Hill style and they fly bad. I beleive its because of the cut in the risor. But if you got 2 bows and can shoot the same arrows from both thats great.

Scott the arrows that i was shooting were bare shafts.
Thanks

Carbon shafts recover much faster than aluminum or wood, and you can usually get away with the same arrow in different weight bows. I find carbons very easy to tune, but some will argue. Now, I'm not saying to take a carbon tuned for a 30# bow, and it is going to shoot well from a 60#er but your 55# to 64# I believe will work fine.
