How do you set the center shot on a recurve bow?
Setting the Centre Shot
The arrows trajectory will then be parallel to the bows “Median Plane” (a straight line from the String through centre of the bow to the target). And so for a right handed archer we set the aim of the arrow (centre shot) slightly off centre to the left (to the right for a LH archer).

Most manufacturers use a 25-inch riser and measure the draw weight on their limbs at a 28-inch draw length. Limbs marked 42 pounds, for example, pull 42 pounds at a 28-inch draw length. The draw weight at shorter or longer draw lengths varies. In general you’ll gain 2 pounds for every inch you draw past 28 inches.
