String blur - what should I see?

Im adapting to a new bow (Covert Hunter) that seems l to shoot better vertical, whereas I've been shooting with a cant for the last several years on my Bear. So, I now have to make sense of the string blur in my field of vision.

Accounting for the fact we're all built different, what should I see in my sight picture? Should it be running straight in-line with the arrow and my pupil (which gets me online windage-wise, but makes it hard to see gaps)? Or do more of y'all see it in the peripheral vision?

FWIW, I'm right handed, 3-under.

@Jim Casto Jr thanks for the video. That did have some points I haven't considered.

Appreciate all the other feedback. Consensus is what I expected: it's different for each person, but keep it consistent. I just didn't have enough of the string in my sight-line to think about it before, and now I do.
