You do not tilt or "cant" the bow at all if it is a compound bow. You want to bow perfectly in line with the body. If it is a traditional long bow or recurve bow then you cant "tilt" slightly toward the riser which in your case would be to the left.

Which side do you tilt the bow if your a left hand?
If you hold the bow with your left hand and draw the string with your right hand, you are in fact RIGHT HANDED, tilt the bow very slightly clockwise. If you hold the bow with your right hand and draw the srting with your left, you are indeed left-handed, tilt the bow very slightly anticlockwise. And remember, DO NOT hold the bow sideways, it is an extremely common mistake you see on the television and NO real archer would do it because it ruins your bow-arm technique and draw technique.

How is a left hand bow determined?
Modern archery bows are usually designated as being either left or right handed. If you draw the string with your right hand, and the arrow lies on the left side of the bow, the bow is right handed, if you draw with the left hand, arrow on the right side of the bow, it is left handed. Some basic, traditional, bows, such as the English longbow, can be shot either left or right handed, modern recurved bows cannot be shot from the "wrong" hand due to the position of the arrow rest, and the cutout in the side of the bow. Normally, if you are right-handed, you need a right-handed bow, since you will usually draw with your right hand, left-handed people use their left hand.
