Abstract
An archery bow rest shelf portion amounts brackets having upper and lower horizontal arms that respectively mount an arrow holder and an arm rest device for pivotal movement between generally vertical extending positions for engaging opposite sides of the arrow shaft to aid in retaining the arrow in an emplacement position and stabilizing an arrow as it is being propelled by the bow string. The swing arm is generally of a frusto-sector shape with its forward base corner portion pivotally mounted on the lower leg between the vertical position extending above the first leg to a datum position having its arrow supporting, arcuately curved surface forwardly of its vertical position and extending to a lower elevation. The holder arm in pivotally depending from the second arm is movable to have its terminal edge that is remote from the second leg pivot more remotely forwardly of its terminal edge in the holder generally vertical position to be of a minimum vertical spacing above the supporting surface in the swing arm vertical position by a dimension greater than the diameter of the arrow shaft.
