Default Respoking

respoked my rear rim 16' steel hub and I noticed the spokes tend to have a slight bow down to them( about 1/32 to 3/64) when all is tightened and true, is this normal? More prevalent on the outers.

What kind of spokes are they? Sound like they might have an improper fit coming out of the hub.

If Buchanan, I'm sure you could call and they would correct the issue
