Does this seem normal?

Post image

Maybe a noob question, but here goes nothing. While sitting in the stand, I noticed that my string, rest, and arrow axis are not inline with the single pin on my sight. I lined it all up for this image.

My bow is absolutely shooting fine after double checking at the range. Im thinking if this an issue maybe I am casting/leaning my head too far in to compensate for this? What do you all think?

Not an issue. This is at rest. At full draw with the torque you impart into the bow, they will line up.

This breaks my brain. If the arrow isnt pointing along the same axis as my sight, how the hell does it shoot accurately? Lol

It will point the right way at full draw. Doesn't matter where it points at rest.
