Abstract
An arrow rest for an archery blow includes a base plate having a rear surface attachable to a bow side and a front surface provided with a vertical rib having an outer surface spaced from the plate front surface and engageable by the lateral periphery of an arrow shaft. A vertically disposed flap having a depth substantially greater than its width, of resilient or elastomeric composition, having a rear base portion attached to the plate front surface and a main body section extending outwardly and forwardly in a curved manner and adapted to support the lower periphery of an arrow shaft. The top of the flap is provided with a concave surface serving to cradle the arrow shaft and biases the arrow shaft so as to force it into engagement with the rib's outer surface both during the draw and release of the arrow as the flap body is deflected rearwardly and forwardly respectively, from its normal at-rest position.
