Odie, take a look at my site (click my signature) and on the links page check out Border, Blackbrook, 3 Rivers and Bowtec. You will see lots of photos of AFB bows. Take a close look at the shelves on these bows and try something similar. I would be careful removing too much wood from your riser at the strikeplate area as you could weaken the handle too much. Just enough for your arrows to sit on is fine - about 7mm is sufficient and go for a 90 degree angle. I do know a guy who shoots off a cheap plastic Hoyt rest on his AFB. It's not strictly trad and not comp legal but he's happy and that could be another option that doesn't involve chopping into your bow.
