ABSTRACT:
An arrow rest assembly includes a mounting plate for securement to the side window wall of an archery bow. The plate is rotatable in a plane paralleling the window wall or bow riser and is also shiftably positionable against the wall or spaced therefrom. The resulting two degrees of freedom facilitate orientational adjustment, thereby to support the assembly in a desired location and attitude. The arrow rest includes a generally horizontal arrow shaft support arm on which a generally vertical arrow-shaft-abutting leg is slidably mounted. The leg may be locked in a selectable position along the lineal expanse of the support arm. A shaft extending upwardly of the support arm at an end thereof adjacent the bow window is journaled for arcuate pivotal articulation of the arrow rest support elements in a tubular sleeve formed in the mounting plate of the assembly. A spring secured to the mounting plate bears resiliently on an eccentric cam fastened on the shaft to bias the support bar or arm together with the side bar or leg of the arrow rest to a "ready" position. Stress forces applied by the arrow shaft against the shaft-engaging bar element of the arrow rest effectively overcome the biasing force of the cam-engaging spring pivotally, and temporarily, to displace the shaft-engaging bar laterally inwardly toward the side wall of the bow window, as the arrow is released in flight. The arrow rest then promptly returns and assumes a standby position.
