Its not a dog. They definitely take 2 different arrows. The Osage bow is significantly more efficient than the board bow. It is also narrower in the grip. It became very clear during tuning that the Osage bow needed an arrow that was significantly stiffer than what the board bow needed.
Difference between the arrows? 5# of spine, 2" of length, 11/32" vs 5/16".

Draw wt of the 2 bows is same?

Would bows bending like this when shooting have arrow flight tail up/head down? (high nock height?)
