ABSTRACT:
The improved rest features a detachable launcher arm having a launching tip of hard metal such as stainless steel or the like, or of cermet or ceramic which is resistant to wear from carbon and other abrasive arrows. The rest includes a mounting block which extends rearwardly behind the handle of an archery bow and to which is rotatably connected by a spring or the like to a cross bar which extends transversely behind the arrow window of the bow and to which is releasably connected the launcher arm. The arm extends upwardly and forwardly into the arrow window of the bow and is adjustable in position in the window. The front end of the arm ends in the launching tip. The tip includes a downwardly and forwardly extending launching groove which is smooth and concave and deepens from the rear to the front thereof. The tip may be removable and the rest may be provided with a number of the tips of various groove diameters to accomodate various arrow shaft diameters. The detachable tip can be screwed into the launcher arm or can fit within an elastomeric or coiled wire sleeve in the arm which allows wear-reducing play in the tip. The tip can include a removeable outer elastomeric sleeve which also reduces tip wear. The tip can be a solid block of one piece design and manufacture. The connector block can include a radially spaced number of holes to attach a spring connecting the crossbar and block for various tensions on the arm.
