arrow jumps when shooting
 
when i shoot my bow the arrow jumps sometime up alittle and off the rest. i can move it back on but it is a pain.
I have a drop away what would cause these and what can i do to fix it.
Could i be jerking on my string when i get almost back to full draw

Lose the drop away and get yourself a whicker biscuit.

Please describe your problem more specifically. You said, "when I shoot my bow".......... isn't the arrow supposed to come off the string when you shoot your bow?

Do you mean, "when you DRAW your bow with an arrow nocked"?

Take a video if the problem, post it & let us see the problem. Then we will be in a better position to help you out.

Maybe you're drawing too fast at the end of your draw cycle. I could see how this could "catapult" your arrow off the rest.

I see you're a life member so you know what your doing, so I don't want to insult you, but is it possible that you're pulling too much weight? Sometimes being overbowed can make for an unsteady draw cycle.

I don't use dropaways, but I've seen many of them that have a hard surface that the arrow rests on. Maybe a little piece of molehair would soften it up. The arrow would be a little less responsive to a soft surface than the hard surface.
