| Personally I would suggest leaving the long-rod off until you reach at least third class as it can mask a multitude of sins. Get your form right first with some knowlegeable help. If the bow is kicking up on release, which it should be, just get a 5/16th bolt and some nuts to add some weight to the long-rod hole to stop you grabbing the bow on release; this is a cheap and effective way of adding weight without hindering your form improvement.
Get the button fitted as soon as you can so you can get a meaningful centreshot.
Always have a purpose when you go to shoot... don't wander from distance to distance haphazardly.
Then just shoot to consistently improve your average.
