There is only one answer. Your "Nocking points" are too tight. Plus you have to realize that shooting with a release that the nock is under additional pressure from above and below the nock itself from the string loop ( At fFull Draw ) pinching the nock even harder. Not enough nocking space, forces the arrow to pivot and in return your arrow rises off of your rest.........
PLEASE NOTE* A "Whisker Biscuit" rest will not solve nor will it help with this problem......

there is no need for two nocking points, that is putting to much pressure on the nock
go with one and keep the string loop

I'm not 100% sure why your arrow is lifting off of your rest when you draw, however, i do have a solution. It's called a "Whisker Bisquit". Look for it at Wal-Mart or Acadamey, or any other outdoor store. I switched from a conventional rest last year and wouldn't use anything else. I think they cost about $39 and they are worth every penny. Try it, you'll thank me later!

I am better of trying to whack them with the bow than I am shooting it. Follow JD's advice.
Hey, I could poke your eye out with this arrow here. Don't make me get mean!!!!!

JD's on the spot with this one. If this is not something you can adjust yourself, go to a certified shop for assistance.

yup, knocking points are to tight. open them up and that will eliminate the problem.
