Abstract
Abstract An arrow rest accessory for mounting on an archery bow and aiding in the accurate and precise guiding of arrows shot therefrom, in the form of a laterally-projecting helical spring member, against which the side and bottom portions of the arrow shaft rest, for absorbing the shock imparted to the bow following arrow release. The spring member is affixed to the free end of a flexible arm of spring steel whose other end is secured to the handle riser portion of the bow by an adjustable mounting which permits independent adjustment of both the vertical and lateral positioning of the rest relative to the bow.
