ABSTRACT:
An arrow rest for use with an archery bow comprises a mounting member attached to the bow handle and extending rearwardly thereof and a yoke adjustably and pivotably mounted to the rear end portion of the mounting member. The yoke defines a radially accesible opening having a central axis and a pair of pedestals are mounted to the yoke extending into the opening with the pedestals positioned to support an arrow. A resilient retaining member extends into the opening in substantially opposing relationship relative to the pedestals. The resilient retaining member is positioned to limit lateral movement of an arrow extending along the central axis of the yoke so that the arrow is maintained in the arrow rest prior to and during launch. The resilient retaining member flexes to one side in response to movement of an arrow into the arrow rest to allow the arrow to fall into place on the pedestals, whereupon the retaining member returns to its unflexed configuration to maintain the arrow in place.
