Default String Catching on Shoulder

I' m new to the traditional ranks, been shooting my recurve for a couple weeks now. I don' t have anyone around here to help me so I read Asbells book on instinctive shooting and am using his method. It feels comfortable to me and I think I' m doing well so far. Question is about one in every ten shots the string hits my shirt and sometimes my shoulder on my bow arm. I' m not wearing baggy shirts so that isn' t the problem. I think I may be leaning too far into the shot once in a while instead of just canting my head, or am I canting the bow too far? I know it will be hard if not impossible to tell without watching me shoot. No one around here shoots this way so can' t have anyone watch me and know what they are supposed to be looking for. Thanks.
