I have to agree with Kevin. It sounds like you are using your rest to aim with. Doing this will cause you to shoot extremely high. You said it is a bolt with a spring, this is called a cushion plunger rest and is not meant to be used as a sight. You need to purchase a sight that will be mounted in pre-tapped holes on the top of you riser. They will protrude out about 3 inches above your rest. Try to post a pic if you can so we can better explain it.
