Abstract

An arrow rest for an archery bow includes a frame and a vertical post extending upwardly from the frame so that the frame at least partially encircles the vertical post to form an arrow shaft pass-through. The arrow rest further includes a pair of spring arms, brushes and/or rollers extending generally toward the arrow shaft pass-through.

Claims (31)

1. An arrow rest for an archery bow, the arrow rest comprising:

a bracket connected with respect to the archery bow;

a frame connected with respect to the bracket, the frame having two ends defining an opening;

a fixed vertical post extending upwardly from the frame, the frame at least partially encircling the fixed vertical post;

a set screw engageable with the fixed vertical post for adjusting a fixed height of the fixed vertical post to accommodate arrow shafts of larger and smaller diameters;

a rest positioned at a distal end of the fixed vertical post, the rest flexible with respect to the fixed vertical post and having an arcuate surface for supporting an arrow shaft;

a pair of brushes, each brush of the pair extending from an end of the frame adjacent the opening, each brush having a distal end positioned at a distance from the fixed vertical post approximately equal to a diameter of the arrow shaft; and

a mounting shaft connecting the frame with the bracket, the mounting shaft rotationally and slidably adjustable relative to the bracket.

2. The arrow rest of claim 1 wherein the mounting shaft includes a plurality of gradations for positioning the mounting shaft in a repeatable position relative to the bracket.

3. The arrow rest of claim 1 wherein the frame comprises a generally octagonal configuration with the opening at a top section of the frame.

4. An arrow rest for an archery bow, the arrow rest comprising:

a bracket connected with respect to the archery bow;

a frame connected with respect to the bracket, the frame having two ends defining an opening;

a fixed vertical post extending upwardly from the frame, the frame at least partially encircling the fixed vertical post;

a rest positioned at a distal end of the fixed vertical post, the rest flexible with respect to the fixed vertical post and having an arcuate surface for supporting an arrow shaft;

a set screw engageable with the fixed vertical post for adjusting a fixed height of the fixed vertical post to accommodate arrow shafts of larger and smaller diameters;

a pair of brushes, each brush of the pair extending from an end of the frame adjacent the opening and at an angle relative to the fixed vertical post; and

a mounting shaft connecting the frame with the bracket, the mounting shaft rotationally and slidably adjustable relative to the bracket.

5. The arrow rest of claim 4 wherein each brush includes a distal end positioned at a distance from the fixed vertical post approximately equal to a diameter of an arrow shaft.

6. The arrow rest of claim 4 wherein each brush is removably attached to the frame with a fastener.

7. An arrow rest for an archery bow, the arrow rest comprising:

a frame;

a fixed vertical post extending upwardly from the frame, the frame at least partially encircling the fixed vertical post to form an arrow shaft pass-through;

a rest positioned at a distal end of the fixed vertical post, the rest flexible with respect to the fixed vertical post and having an arcuate surface along an axis of an arrow shaft for supporting the arrow shaft;

a set screw engageable with the fixed vertical post for adjusting a fixed height of the fixed vertical post to accommodate arrow shafts of larger and smaller diameters;

a pair of brushes removably attached to the frame, each brush of the pair extending from an attached position on the frame at an angle relative to the fixed vertical post and generally toward the arrow shaft pass-through;

a bracket connected with respect to the archery bow; and

a mounting shaft connected between the bracket and the frame, the mounting shaft slidable with respect to the bracket.
