....If the arrows are matched to the bows, than you shouldn't see any difference ( as long as you make your bows similar, it would change a bit if you go from super narrow handles to those quite wide ones )
Broken Hand:
I teach people, mostly kids to shoot instinctive by having them shoot a candle at night, and try to snuff the flame without hitting the candle. they love this type of shooting, and I think it makes them aim small, miss small. However I do see them occationally swap bows or arrows with someone that shoots more poundage than they need and accuracy more or less is non existant, but if they drop poundage or arrow weight the accuracy will sometimes improve....Brokenhand....Aho.
radius:
i swap bows all the time for fun, and i only have the same batch of mismatched arrows to go along with them. I always shoot natural: never aim down the arrow, don't use peripheral vision: i just look at what i want to hit, draw, release. All my bows are about the same weight, within 12 # or so, and i find that even with one that has a wider handle, it only takes a shot or two for the body to figure it out.
The body, once trained, is smarter than me so i let it do the work!
Kegan:
I've switched from almost 90# to just over 60# within fifteen minutes and, except for the arrows being off with the lighter bow, had no issue hitting out to 30 or 40 yards. I do use an "aiming" system, but rarely do I give it much conscience thought.
Liek i said, it's all barebow ;D
zeNBowyer:
Switching bows changes technique,
since most bows are different in a number of ways, specificallly the handle/grip, depth of the window, length of the bow etc.
you simply can't hold your bow with the same way with different grips,
as much as I like to play with my different bows I shoot one at a time for periods,
because the point of impact seems to changes from bow to bow,
I'm sure some people can switch bows without much bother but I'm not one:)
