ABSTRACT:
An arrow support for use with a bow having a bow string and an arrow having an arrow shaft, a nock and fletch. The arrow support includes a support base connected to the bow. A first and a second post each are connected to the support base. A first roller arm is connected to the first post and the first roller arm extends at an angle upwardly from the base a distance from the first post generally toward the second post. A second roller arm is connected to the second post and the second roller arm extends a distance generally upwardly from the base and generally toward the first post. A roller is rollingly connected to the first roller arm and a second roller is rollingly connected to the second roller arm. The first and the second rollers each extend a distance from the respective first and the second roller arms for forming first and second roller contact surfaces. The arrow support is positioned on the bow so that the arrow shaft is supported on the first and the second roller contact surfaces as the arrow is being discharged from the bow. The first and the second post cooperate with the first and the second roller arms and the upper surface of the base to form a fletch channel for accommodating the fletch of the arrow as the arrow is rollingly discharged over the first and the second roller contact surfaces. The first and the second roller arms each extend at an angle from the respective first and second posts in a range from about 55.degree. to about 65.degree. with the angles each being preferably about 60.degree..
