The reason I center the handle in the bow is I can see good tiller best if both limbs are the same. It's not how I learned but it is how I've evolved over many years of building wood bows.

That puts the arrow about 2 inches above center. That also works well with a split finger draw that puts pressure 2 fingers below the arrow, almost center with the bow.
