ABSTRACT:
The archery arrow rest features a thin, relatively flat arrow shaft-supporting blade disposed horizontally but with its thin edges disposed vertically so that the shaft is supported by the upper knife edge of the blade. The blade is inflexible vertically but flexible and resilient horizontally so as to be easily moved out of the way by the arrow shaft and/or vanes during shooting of the arrow from the rest. Preferably, the blade has a concave side facing the sidewall of the archery bow window and flexes easily in that direction in response to to side pressure from an arrow during shooting but automatically returns to the unflexed position when side pressure is released. The blade resists flexing toward its convex side. Since the blade is arcuate, it resists more effectively vertical bending. The rest also includes a holder releasably connected to the rear end of the blade. The holder includes, for example, a forwardly and rearwardly extending mounting block for releasable attachment of its front end to the sidewall of the riser of an archery bow adjacent the arrow window of the bow. The rear end of the mounting block is preferably attached to a transverse crossbar which extends behind the riser to a point behind the arrow window. The holder may further include a rod connected to the rear end of the blade and passing back into connection with the crossbar. Preferably, the rod is moveable forwardly, rearwardly and transversely.
