Abstract
An archery bow arrow rest having a pivotal support arm biased to support an arrow on its free end. At right angles to its free end, the support arm has a fixed end positioned in, and attached to a bushing. The bushing passes through and is rotatable in a mounting bracket connecting the arrow rest to the bow. The bushing is also encircled by an arm-biasing coil spring, one end of which is anchored to the bracket, and the other end to a torque-controlling knob adjustably attachable to the bushing. The knob encircles the spring, thereby enclosing and protecting it from dirt. In a preferred embodiment, the free end of the support arm has a circular member attached to it on which the arrows are placed, and which provides quiet, low-friction launches of arrows. Through its gradual rotation, the member distributes arrow-induced wear on the member evenly over its surface.
