arrow rest ?
 

when your bow strig is leval verticaly should your arrow be leval. im not sure if i am explaning this right,

RE: arrow rest ?
 

Your arrow should form a 90 degree angle to your string, and leval vertiacaly is called vertical, level is horizontal, your arrow should be perpendicular to your string at all times when it is knocked. Hope this helps.

Unless you don't have level nock travel.Or if you are shooting with fingers.

When you first set up a bow you level the arrow as you are intimating. Then you get to tuning and you may have to move the nocking point or rest up or down to get good arrow flight. Usually if there is any adjustment needed the arrow will not be level but aim slightly down, meaning a nocking point a little above square (level), but not always. As I said, you get to tuning and wherever it ends up that's where it needs to be.

Some things to check while setting up the bow is that the limbs are both adjusted the same (tiller). If it's a two cam or binary cambow the cams must be synced also. If it's a single cam then the cam needs to be oriented for level nock travel or at least closely so.

Much the same can be said for the left/right position of the rest. You satrt out with the rest on center and adjust it right or left as necessary to achieve good tune. Methods of tuning include paper, bare shaft, walk-back, and or french. No one method of tuning is really the best one. I often use several just to check one against the other. For the record I never paper tune.

99.9% of the time your arrow will be slightly (1/8" or so)nock high when nocked on the stringand the rest is in the up position. Your nocking point on the string is NOT in the dead center of the string so it only stands to reason that your arrow will not be perfectly level or at an exact 90 degree angle to your string. Despite what the manufacturers claim I don't know of any bow that has absolutely perfectly level nock travel.

When I set up a bow I do it 1/8" inch nock high and the rest is about 1/16" off center.
