Default Nocking point???

Is this a new bow or new to you bow. Do you trust the person that set it up knew what they were doing?

I am asking because in the picture you posted the D Loop doesn't appear to be anywhere near the center of the serving. I am not saying you have to be in the center but it looks strange to me (might be the camera angle.

When in doubt, do a set-up check yourself. Put a square on your string and check your center shot. With the square on your string your nocking point should be at the same height or slightly higher than the center of the bolt holding your arrow rest. (center shot). There are many tutorial on the internet that should give you a good stating point. Learn the basics of how to set-up a bow, it will help you understand better what's going on when things aren't quite right and might save your hunt. You don't always have access to a pro shop when out in hunting camp. (broken D-loop, loose peep, peep rotation, misc bolts coming loose, faulty arrow rest) make sure you learn how to do basic repair and set-up, it might not be perfect and you might have to decrease your range for shots but it will not ruin your hunting trip.

Other quick check you can perform. Are your limb bolts adjusting your draw weight out the same amount of turns, Did you paper tune your bow to check proper arrow flight.

Good luck and good reading tonight.
