New to traditional archery. I am consistently shooting about 2 inches left of aim point at 20 yards. I am shooting GT 3555's cut at 29" with 5" LW parabolic fletching. I also am shooting 125 gr. target points. Bow is a recurve 56" 50 lb. @ 28 inches. Overall 3 shot patterns are relatively tight out to 20 yards (about 4 inch groups). I have shot out to 38 yards and can put 3 in a pie plate. However, all groups are consistently left of aim point. If I add weight to the point, will I move the arrow to the right?
Sounds like you are a little stiff in the spine of your arrows. So adding some point weight should help, I think.
I'd look at form before changing hardware! Make sure you are getting the nock end of the arrow under your eye. Most students I have hit right due to a string hand that is too far to the right of the face/anchor point. Tuck that string hand into your face!!
I think as a community, we are too fast to blame equipment. FORM!FORM!FORM!!!!!
Yep, a bit stiff, hitting left of point of aim is a good indicator. Go higher in point weight or longer in shaft length. Or just buy yourself some AD trad lites, cut them to 29.5", put in some 100 gr brass inserts, fletch and shoot with the 125 gr point, bet you anything they will be right on the money.

Form and aim to the right a bit. Once you have form down, then worry about equipment changes.
What they said. Also If you are canting your bow, make sure you can't your head with your torso. If you don't this can cause you to shoot left if you are a right handed shooter. :thumbsup:
