You don't aim to the side, even with no center cut at all. You tune the arrows to go where you want. As the arrow pass moves further from the center line of the bow (less center cut), you need a weaker/softer arrow to allow the arrow to paradox around the bow as it begins its flight. I have both modern center cut bow and wood selfbows with no shelf and shoot them all the same way. Instinctively, and am pretty near interchangable with each, but need to use arrows tuned to that set up.
