Heck of a lot better than I do. So what would cause the walk up and left? With handguns, it’s predictable if you see a consistent walk like that, finger placement, pawing the pull, anticipation, etc
First hover-mower I’ve seen. Didn’t know they were even a thing

Cool hover mower. I wonder how well they work. My guess is that they don't work that well.
There are things that can affect an archery shot in a consistent manner. "Plucking" the string is one, where you pull the string laterally when you release it instead of just a clean release.
The thing about archery, is that there's no rear sight, and there may or may not be a front sight. I don't have a sight on my bow, so there's no front or rear sight. You don't put the tip of the arrow on the bullseye like a front site. If I put the tip of the arrow on the bullseye, and i was standing 50' from the target, my arrow would probably hit the target ~18" to the left of the bullseye.
The key in archery is absolute, 100% consistency of your body from shot to shot to shot. Your front arm has to be in exactly the same position every shot. Your head has to be in the same position every shot. How far back you've drawn the string, and where that string is released from has to be the same for every shot. For me on those shots, it was probably mostly that last bit. You pull the string back and to help you know that you get it pulled back the same every time you touch your face. If one time my hand is firmly pressed into my face, but the next time my hand is lightly touching my face, that 1/4" can make a huge difference at 50-60'. Similarly, if you pull the string back 1/4" more one time than the previous, then the string imparts more force to the arrow, and the trajectory changes so the height of the arrow will change. A relatively small change at the bow can be a huge change on the target.
A pecan tree fell earlier this year. I trimmed up most of it, but left some for the grandsons to use as a jungle gym on their visit in a few weeks. A squirrel visited and went looking for bugs for lunch in the bark.
