Abstract
An arrow retainer to be attached to an archery bow which retains the arrow in a position adjacent the arrow rest. In accordance with this invention, the arrow retainer is preferably made from elastomeric materials and forms an upwardly opening channel. The arrow retainer provides a restricted distance gap enabling an arrow to be loaded within an area adjacent the bow arrow rest. The confined area defined by the arrow retainer maintains the arrow in close proximity with the arrow rest, thereby minimizing the time necessary to draw and release the arrow. In accordance with an alternate embodiment of this invention, the arrow retainer is integrated into the arrow rest component.
