I'm thinking of putting on a spare arrow rest I have, too. That should give me a little more control.
switching to an arrow rest, so you were shooting off the shelf before?
When you draw back how do you hold the string, all 3 fingers below the arrow or the index finger above?
how is your shot off, are you all over the place or are you consistently hitting the same spot, just not where you are aiming?
There is so much more to traditional bows than compound, you may want to look around for an instructor....it can shave months off your learning time having someone over your shoulder and making sure you have the basics down. After that, its just a matter of shooting time.
