ABSTRACT:
Improved archery equipment comprises an archery bow with an improved reversible arrow rest. The equipment may also include an arrow supported on the rest for shooting from the bow. The rest is disposed in the arrow-receiving space or window of the bow, and comprises a base portion secured to the bow handle and at least one resilient, vertically depressible, elongated, free-standing, upwardly projecting arm rising above the base support and secured to it adjacent its lower end. The arm extends generally along the forward-rearward axis of the bow, a portion of the arm providing a fork, tines of which are adapted to support opposite sides of an arrow below the midline thereof when the arrow is disposed for shooting from the bow. In one embodiment a pair of spaced arms are utilized in the rest and the fork has an open center, thus permitting an arrow vane to pass freely therethrough without touching the fork. The arm or arms are adjustable preferably both vertically and laterally so that the height and position of the arrow in the window can be adjusted. the open centered fork can also be adjusted to accommodate arrows of various diameters. The same rest can be used with both right handed and left handed bows and is particularly adapted to be used in conjunction with a mechanical string release to provide essentially perfect arrow flight with full arrow clearance from the bow.
