Update: The level is gone. And I think that I found my "problem" (I am learning all this without someone, other than you good fella's on here) I was gripping the bow rather firmly, instead of just cradling it in my hand.
The effect of the loose grip is that I am much more accurate, and I can cant the bow with little change in impact point, though I try to ensure that the bow is verticle during my draw, and release.
Basically I am encircling the bows grip with my index finger, and thumb, and barely touching it with the rest of my fingers.
If I use a firm grip on the bow, I tend to drop shots low, and left.

Sounds like you are torquing the bow...could be the bow's grip doesn't agree with you, or you are not properly aligned....but glad you got something positive going!

To me, target shooting and hunting are different ideas.

When shooting "straight" the bow blocks part of my vision and, for huting that's just not acceptable to me.  Can't speak for others.

I cant the bow a lot...don't know how much but enough to get comments from others.  I can and do vary the amount depending on the situation.

I find its necessary to build out the riser quite a bit because it does, to a greater degree act as the arrow rest
