Abstract
A guide device designed to hold an arrow on its rest under all conditions of hunting and shooting a bow is disclosed. The device is held to the bow by a screw through its mounting bracket and into the rest or berger button hole in the side of the bow. The guide device has two guide arms which hold the arrow in place and a trigger to open the arms when the archer is ready to shoot. A spring is attached to the arms for closing the arms and returning the trigger. The arms are also shaped on top to allow faster and easier arrow placement when loading. After loading an arrow, the arrow is held on the rest and is ready for shooting. After making a full draw of the bow, the trigger is pulled with the index finger and the arms move away to let the arrow pass freely. After the shot, the trigger is released and the spring closes the guide arms. The guide arms can be easily bent to accommodate shorter arrow shafts and front mounted bow sights.
