it would be way easier to tell where it is bending and not if we could see the pics!  ;D
  In my opinion, no you should not put an arrow rest on it. It is not necessary.

Looks to be bending well. Maybe a little stiff right off the right fade. Try pulling a bit farther and see what you have.

It's not really bending enough to tell yet. Also, don't muck around with that long string too much! Get 'er bendin' enough to get a short string on it, and then you can really tell what's goin' on.  ;)

It would be best to have a tillering tree with a scale in line to see the weight before pulling it to far. You don't really want to pull it to 24" and it be at 65# when you're after a final weight of 45#. It does look like it is probably ready to brace it with a short string.
