when i draw my bow back if i try to gap or anything with the point my shafts are always to the right orientation of my eye, ive tried different anchor points and cant get the arrow to be straight, if its nocked on my bow the orientation of the arrow goes to the left when string is lined up with limbs, how can i find a gap or aim off the point when its like this?
aim small miss small

Trying to understand... why are you lining the string up with the limbs ?   Are you canting ( tipping) the bow at all ?

just nocking the arrow not drawing back or anything lol, just how the orientation of arrow sights on bow without being pulled back
aim small miss small

It is fine.  We deal with what is called "archers paradox" using the old bows and releasing using fingers.

Aim the arrow at what you want to hit, not the bow, or using instinctive "aiming" you don't really use the arrow at all, just look where you want to hit and point.  Forget the bow and try it.

BTW, that "orientation" changes every inch you draw it back due to the changing angle of approach.  This is in part why the arrow spine is so important an aspect when using traditional gear, as opposed to a cut past center compound bow and release.
