Bow out of Whack...

I have recently purchased a used bow (PSE Baby G) and made a couple of adjustments. The bow was set at its max of 70lbs. That was a bit much for me to shoot comfortably so I backed off some of the draw weight, 3 turns on each limb bolt. I also replaced the original rest with a Whisker Bisquit. The draw length is 29 inches.
Now, when I reach full draw, my arrows fall off of the string at the nock. I have tried new arrows thinking the nocks were bad, and I have tried different length arrows. I have mounted the bisquit on the front of the bow and at the rear (string side) but still have the problem. The bisquit provides a " loose but snug" fit, but no where near snug enough to pull the arrow off the string.
Any ideas what happened, and better yet how to fix it?? Does adjusting the draw weight effect the draw length or change the nocking point? I have nocked the arrow above and below the original position, but that didnt help either. I was thinking about setting it back to 70lbs to see if that corrects the problem, although I really need to be closer to the minimum 60 lbs of draw weight.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You are pinching the nock with your release and the nocking point.
You are shooting a very short axle to axle bow with a long draw length so their is a very small " v" where the nock is.
I suggest a string loop or add an eleminator button below the arrow nock.
