ABSTRACT:
An arrow rest assembly attached to a bow is designed to be horizontally movable in order to clear the fletching on a released arrow. The arrow rest assembly incorporates a flexible positioner to position the arrow away from the handle of the bow, in line with the bow string and in clearance of the fletching. An arrow rest holds the arrow in position while the bow is drawn and the arrow is aimed. The arrow rest assembly has a triggering control which responds to the movement of the bow string after the arrow is released; such triggering control retracts the arrow rest from its extended holding position to its retracted clearing position before the fletching of the arrow passes by the arrow rest. The triggering control can be adjusted relative to the bow string in order to vary the timing of the arrow rest's retraction.
