Nock point is same as other bow? If so, you may not have arrows tuned. All bows don't like the same nock point. Have you tuned the arrows to this bow?

5 pounds heavier, are you getting to exactly the same anchor point?  My guess is you are not.

Maybe the nock point needs to be different on the new one compared to the old one.  That's part of what tuning is all about.

im already over a hair over from a half inch from square and i shoot split

My bro had to go 5/8" above square on one bow, and everybody holds the bow a bit differently, so you may have a lot different result than the next guy.

For example just shooting high wrist vs heeling down on the grip makes an immense diff.

Try shooting high wrist if you don't and see the diff.

Sounds like flatter trajectory and maybe the shelf is away from your hand more.  Try shooting from no more than five yards from the target. Get your eye dialed in there and then move back only a couple of steps at a time.  Do not go back and forth between bows.

finally got it shooting right, it turns out the 175 grain head was too heavy for it, it likes a 145 grain head they fly like darts, i think all that front weight before was causing my arrow to bump off the shelf. why how fun tuning can be but once you get it you feel acomplished.
thanks all

Glad you got it worked out, now lets see some pics of that bad boy

[nhbuck1]

do bob lees have a high wrist grip?

[Shadowhnter]

Grip loosely, and keep the pressure up high in the web of your thumb and index finger. A straight longbow pressure is mid to lower heel of hand.

Give your brain a few days to adjust...it dont realize you bought a new bow yet...

[nhbuck1]

i notice after i shoot my bow rolls to the right, so the string is going away from me, any idea whats going on here?

[Shadowhnter]

Your shoulders arent square with the target. If your shoulders are set too far to the left, bow arm and hand will tend to go left... and the string follows going out and away from the body..... thats provided if you're not torquing the bow or arrow.

will this cause me to shoot right?
