Appears something is not right.You should be able tell if one or both limbs are twisted.With the bow strung,looking down the belly side from tip to tip is the string running down the center of the riser.

I’m thinking that the camera angle exaggerates the appearance just a little bit. I have a 1990 riser where the arrow shaft also runs off the corner, so to speak. Those risers are cut to center, so the diameter of the arrow shaft will offset it a bit. Mine shoots pretty sweet, how about yours?

Something is definitely not right.Like turkey522 said,you should be able to sight down the string,centering it on the belly side of the riser and tell quickly where the problem is.

It looks to me like the arrows Dia is big and that the bow may not be cut to center. The addition of the leather strike plate puts the arrow out farther FROM center and forces it to be on the angle noticed. If you can't see an obvious limb twist the bow is fine

My B handle looks like almost that w/ my large diameter cedars.
Since then I've switched to narrower carbons and raised the brace height, slightly different angle, but still a bit of one.

I have one exactly like that. I was told by a shop owner that it happened all of the time. The fixturing to put the end clamps on the riser was a little sloppy at Bear and if the operator didn't pay attention it would come out like this. It used to be you had two options. You could send it back to Bear and they would replace it, or you could try putting shims under one side of the limb base on both limbs to try and turn the limbs. The last one never worked for me and I don't want to return it. It shoots just fine but it looks wierd.
