Abstract
An improved archery sight and arrow rest combination incorporates the positioning of the sight generally vertically above the arrow rest. Positioning of the sight generally vertically above the arrow rest eliminates any undesirable effects from archer induced torque on the bow handle. Both the sight and rest are positioned rearwardly of the bow handle. Should the bow handle be twisted due to archer induced torque, both the sight and arrow rest will move to effectively the same position. Thus, when the archer sights along the sight member, the arrow will be pointing in the same direction. In the prior art, the arrow rest was often behind the bow handle with the sight in front of the bow handle. When archer induced torque occurred, the archer would be sighting along one line, while the arrow would actually be aimed along another. The present invention has addressed this problem. In addition, the present invention provides a one-piece easily removable sight and arrow rest combination that the archer may quickly and easily remove. Since the sight and arrow rest are delicate members, facilitating the removal by the archer will ensure that they are easily protected during transport.
