Abstract
An arrow rest for retaining an arrow in a shooting position on an archery bow. The arrow rest includes a structure surrounding a opening. The structure including a gap configured to pass the arrow into the opening. A gate is pivotally attached to the structure and biased to extend across the gap in a closed position. The structure completely surrounds the opening when the gate is in the closed position. A plurality of arrow supports are attached to the structure and extend radially into the opening toward the shooting position. At least one of the arrow supports is pivotally attached to the structure and biased toward the shooting position. The arrow support is biased to capture the arrow against the other arrow supports in the shooting position and to be displaced away from the shooting position when the arrow is launched from the archery bow.
