Have been practicing with the longbow. Not up to hunt with it skill yet but improving. I found I'm more accurate holding it upright like I do my compound. I think it has a lot to do with muscle memory transfer in my case. If I only shot the longbow, I'd probably cant it 'cause it seems more natural to hold it that way.

You are way overspined for your draw wt. You are only drawing aprox 52# at 27" you need to shoot no more than a 2016 & cut them to 29" even this is borderline you may have to drop down the next size, defenitely not up to the next size.

Hold your head at basically the same angle as the bow. If you stand straight up, hold your bow straight up.
Canting the bow helps keep the arrow on the shelf, especially if the bow has a very small shelf. You may want to practice with a cant regardless, as some situations (such as a tree limb in the way) require it to get the shot off.
