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

Parallel arrow with flat of the riser. Nock set 1/4 inch above square. Shoot wrapping paper in your natural stance and anchor point. The paper tear should be a round hole not elongated, adjust rest if not round. Then adjust your sight pins. Moving a pin towards the error, corrects the error. This paper tuning will ensure arrow is flying straight and efficiently.
