RE: arrow jumps when shooting
When you draw your nock is being pinched and that is what is causeing the jump during the draw. The only time I see this problem is with Beginning Traditional archers twisting the string and bad form.So being that your not shooting traditional, the Nock is too tight causing the arrow to jump off the rest. It's Deffinatly not your drop away rest. The whisker biscuit will help with one problem but not another. Your probably not shooting as accuratly as you could be shooting because on release your arrow will still be pinched at one point or another. My suggestion is to invest in a loop or nocking device and have it installed at the proshop where you pick it up. Hope this helps out. 
Here is a link to show you what I mean.

I stop at page one so if it's been answered...
The nock is beingpinchedand needs fixed. Or you could continue to shoot a poorly setup bow and do as the some others have said and put a biscut on.

Why the heck did you wait till now to fix the problem? Shame on you Tim.[>:] I'm guessing your awfully jerky when drawing your bow back (drawing to many pounds) or like a few others have said nock pinch.

RE: arrow jumps when shooting
guys does this mean i need a new string new loop new nocks. what do i need to solve the issue and not cover it up
1) Your nock set is defined by two areas of serving material on your string (My preferred method). If this is the case....you're going to need to carefully remove some of the serving material to allow your nocks to "float" freely between your two nocking points (servings).
or
2) Your nock set is defined by your D-loop spacing (top to bottom). If this is the case.....the simplest thing to do would be to remove it and tie on a new one. You can do this yourself, if you have the inclination and the know-how, or have someone do it at a shop. What "I" would do is have them serve a small nock set above and below your nocking point that wouldn't allow your D-loop to slide on your string and "pinch" your nock.
Good luck.
