ABSTRACT:
The improved archery bow arrow rest includes an elongated bracket having a front end portion and opposite rear end. The front portion is adapted to be secured to the sidewall of an archery bow riser on the side of the riser opposite that which defines the arrow window of the bow. The rear end of the bracket has one end of a transverse bar secured thereto, with the opposite free end of the bar extending behind the arrow window when the bracket is secured to an archery bow. The bar preferably is secured by a spring to the bracket to bias the bar against counterclockwise rotation. The rest also includes a spaced parallel pair of inflexible arrow holder arms, the rear ends of which are secured to the bar. The central portions of the holder arms extend upwardly and forwardly of the bar for positioning in the arrow window. The front portions of the holder arms are bent down to form prongs which are at an angle extending toward each other to form a V. The lower ends of the prongs are spaced apart at least about 0.125 inch to provide clear passage for an arrow vane therebetween. Each of the prongs is at an angle of about 25-30 degrees from the vertical so as to securely hold an arrow against roll-off from the rest. Preferably, the prongs are injection molded in friction-free plastic and the lower ends of the prongs preferably include removeable extensions. The lengths of the holder arms can differ to more readily accommodate arrows with helical fletching.
