i've seen alot of right handed shooters, both traditional and compound start shooting to the left, especially at game because they start trying to watch the arrow instead of concentrating on the follow through.  When you try to watch the arrow a right hander will pull the bow to the left, other than that I'll also shoot left on a short draw.

Ralph, I have found when I hit to the left of my mark from a tree stand its my bow arm extending a bit farther then the norm. Depending on the size of your platform and how comfortable you are at heights, your form changes from being on the ground. Put a few different targets out from your stand, from just away from the bottom of the tree to out to your max distance. I do this during the summer with 4 different deer targets with a orange colored roofing nail placed in the vitals. Most times if you have a form issue it will show up at the close targets.

It's something in your bow arm/hand if you are shooting right handed. Pay attention to your form....your doing something different up in a  tree. Bending at the waist may fix it.

Ralphy, donno if it will help you but for me, if I'm hittnig left consistently, I've turned so "Square" with the target that my dominate eye (right eye / right handed shooter) gets cut out of vision a little...  If I open my stance, ever so slightly, I can see the target and acquire the path of the arrow without any problem. And the arrow goes straight.  

So If you are right handed, move your left foot just an inch or so to the left and it'll open up your stance just a smidgen... It helps me.
