It is caused by what your thread is titled. It's a new bow, you'll get used to it ;-)

A new bow is like a new car. They all handle differently even though they all have four wheels and a steering wheel.

My experience is limited...but when I got my Prarie Predator it took me a little shooting to get dialed in after shooting my Samick. Probably will just take you a day or two to get accustomed to it.

IF possible, tune your setup.

Also, it could be possible that you previous setup was shooting low.

this bow is 5 pound heavier

Sometimes it takes awhile for the bow to figure out where your looking give it time.

Dont get discouraged in a day or two you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. It will be your best friend soon enough. Congrats

You answered your own question. 5# heavier means flatter arrow trajectory. Your brain will get used to it.

im still really struggling with the bow grip, it all seems so different with a recurve versus a longbow grip beacause of the angle, im just confused how many fingers to wrap around the back of the grip handle, im probably over thinking it but i know its important. i watched all arnes videos but it still looks different because his grip is a straight grip.

One or two fingers and loose.

I know for me it's a lot how close the shelf and rest is to the top of your hand.

My guess is it is the grip you take. Heeling your hand on a recurve grip will make it shoot high. Aim to keep the pressure point on your bow hand at base of thumb and in exactly same spot.
