ABSTRACT:
An arrow rest assembly includes a mounting bracket for mounting to a bow. A rest arm is mounted on a spatially fixed lateral shaft that aids in supporting and positioning the rest arm. The rest arm is adapted to be laterally adjusted along the shaft. The assembly further includes an angular adjustment screw that cooperates with the rest arm to angularly position the arrow supported by the rest arm for proper flight trajectory upon firing. In one embodiment, the lateral shaft is threaded to mate with a threaded hole in the rest arm. A lateral adjustment knob is rotated to rotate the shaft and thus move the rest arm laterally along the shaft due to the cooperating threaded engagement. The angular adjustment screw is atached directly to the rest arm and engages a bottom plate of the assembly. In another embodiment, the lateral shaft has a V-shaped slot for receiving a securing screw attached to the rest arm. An elevation adjustment arm is attached to the shaft and pivotably engages the elevation adjustment screw. The shaft and rest arm thus rotate in response to the pivotal motion of the elevation adjustment arm. A biasing spring urges the rest arm back to an established support position when it deflects away from the arrow flight path following release from the bowstring.
