Abstract
An improved arrow rest for an archery bow comprises an arm adjustably mounted to the bow handle and a vertically depressable arrow launcher support connected to the arm, and moveable to and from the arm by a shuttle. The top portion of a "U" shaped spring engages the area around the top surface of the shuttle and the bottom portion of the spring engages the bottom surface of the arrow launcher support to bias it upwardly. Slots or grooves are provided for varying the length of the spring that engages the area around the top surface of the shuttle and the bottom surface of the arrow launcher support, whereby the amount of vertical depressability of the arrow launcher support is dependent upon the length of the spring that engages the area around the top surface of the shuttle and the bottom surface of the arrow launcher support. Spring members of various stiffness can also be utilized to increased the range of vertical stiffness of the arrow support.
