Slow down and bury your draw hand into your anchor spot... Sometimes after a few shots at the same target we shoot too fast and "short draw" away from our face... An arrow goes where it's pointed...

When I shoot to the left I find that my bow hand is drifting slightly to the left as I'm relaxing my string fingers.  Also follow-thru with bow hand after the arrow is away.

I have had this same problem.  The bowyer who taught me how to shoot said it was the liars line.  Holding your head completely still and drawing back to your anchor is the correct way. Moving your head into your draw hand is the liars line, and always (and sometimes still does) has me shooting left.  Hope this helps
