Advice on unstable bow arm!?

Hi chaps,
I have a recurring problem at the moment with my bow arm (left arm, as I'm right-handed) kicking to the left or the right (mostly the left, but not always) when I loose. I have this problem with whatever bow I use, whether it's my 85# warbow, my 70# longbow, 60# hungarian recurve or a 30# beginners bow! And it doesn't happen all the time, but with regularity. For example, I'll make one good straight shot, then one will kick to the left, then one will kick to the right, then another straight one. I never used to have this problem.
Any ideas why this might be? Is it something to do with my stance, do you think? I note that I can cancel the problem by tilting my bow to 45 degrees...(so using bigger muscles to stabilise the arm), but I don't want to do that all the time.
Any observations or advice appreciated!
Cheers,
Matt
