I’ve recently started to attempt gap shooting, second year archer initially learned instinctive.

while gap shooting I realized all my gaps are below point on. -1, -7, -12, -20 inches (15,20,25,30 ft). Everything I’ve seen so far my gaps should be above the target and work down until point on. What am I doing wrong? I’ve got a 50lb basic breakdown recurve give or take 2lbs. It was tuned by an instinctive archer who runs an archery shop in a town I no longer live in.
