Abstract
An arrow rest for retaining an arrow in a shooting position on an archery bow. The arrow rest includes a generally ring shaped structure surrounding a center opening. The ring structure includes a gap configured to receive the arrow in the center opening. A gate is pivotally attached to the ring structure and biased to extend across the gap in a closed position. At least one fixed arrow support is attached to the ring and extends into the center opening toward the shooting position. At least two pivoting arrow supports are pivotally attached to the ring and biased toward the shooting position of the center opening. The pivoting arrow supports are biased to capture the arrow against the fixed arrow support in the shooting position of the center opening and to rotate away from the shooting position when the arrow is launched from the archery bow.
