ABSTRACT:
An archer's bow rest is used with a support structure and supports an archer's bow. The bow rest includes a cup member and a brace. More particularly, the cup member is connected with the support structure and defines a recess that is adapted to removably receive an end of the archer's bow. In one aspect, the cup member further includes a generally J-shaped member and a ring member. The J-shaped member has a first leg, a bite portion, and a second leg, with the first and second legs extending in the same general direction from the bite portion. In another aspect, the ring member is connected with each of the first and second legs, whereby the ring member, the first leg, the bite portion, and at least a portion of the second leg define the recess. At least one of the ring member and the J-shaped member may be constructed of an elongated pliable member. Further, at least a portion of the second leg may be an elongated pliable member that extends from the ring member to a terminal end, with the terminal end being connected with the support structure. The brace may further include cooperating first and second releasable coupler members. The first coupler member may be connected with the support structure, while the second coupler member is connected with the bow. The first and second coupler members have coupled and released conditions, with the first and second coupler members resisting a separating force when in the coupled condition, and the first and second coupler members becoming uncoupled in the released condition when the separating force is substantially removed. In a further aspect, the first coupler member may further include an elongated pliable member that is connected with the support structure and extends to a terminal end. The terminal end couples with the second coupler member. In yet another aspect, one of the first and second coupler members has a hook portion, and the other of the first and second coupler members has a loop portion. Further, the hook portion and loop portion engage in the coupled condition.
