It looks like you're pretty dialed in for 20 yards but I'm wondering how much impact shift you're talking about? Or are you aiming for the big bee in the center and hitting all around? Are you shooting target points or broadhead?
Body position and natural point of aim have huge consequences down range, the longer the range the larger the consequences but at 20 yards there shouldn't be all that much and with moderate practice you should be able to hit a 2x2" square pretty consistently. It might be that you're forcing yourself to do something with the sights.
The sights might also be part of the problem assuming that's a five-pin setup (hard to tell from photo) which I've always found to be too busy. I'd consider a 3 pin setup for either 10, 20 and 30 yards (probably best at your skill level) or 20, 30 or 40 (when you get better). You can bracket it pretty easily and with the latter can take it out to 50 with holds and practice.
I'd recommend going to a dedicated archery store where the guys themselves are bow hunters. Some stores even have indoor ranges. Working out the kinks in technique (like elbow position).
