Abstract

A support for retaining an archery bow on a support surface includes a mounting block affixable to the archery bow and a member adjustably coupled to the mounting block. The member can be repositionable between two or more configurations relative to the mounting block. For example, the member can be rotatable between two or more orientations relative to the mounting block. In some examples, the member can be linearly repositionable relative to the mounting block. In some examples, the member can be a first member and the support can further include a second member adjustably coupled to the mounting block.
