Benefits of technology

"The invention is an arrow rest for use with an archery bow. The arrow rest includes a base, a plurality of spaced-apart arrow supports, and a mounting bracket. The arrow supports are positioned along the base to allow a vane of an arrow to pass between them. The mounting bracket allows the base to be adjusted vertically and horizontally. The base is generally arcuate and has bristles that conform to the cross-sectional shape of the arrow. The mounting bracket is silent, does not damage the arrow's vanes, and allows the base to be adjusted vertically and horizontally. The invention provides an improved arrow rest for archery bow users."

Problems solved by technology

Frictional resistance results in a loss of energy that would otherwise be transferred to the arrow, resulting in a loss of speed and accuracy.
Vanes are very important to proper arrow flight, and a damaged vane could have adverse effects on the speed and accuracy of the arrow.
However, these rests make substantial contact with the vanes of the arrow.
This contact increases the frictional loss created by the arrow rest and hinders the speed and accuracy of the arrow.
The contact also reduces the life of the arrow's vanes, especially if helical vanes or feathers are used.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art arrow rest 10 for use with an archery bow. Arrow rest 10 has a generally disc-shaped inverted coil brush 11. The coil brush 11 includes a plurality of radially disposed, inwardly projected bristles 12 which define a circular central opening 13 for supporting an arrow.

[0034] The vanes of the arrow must pass through the coil brush 11 when the arrow is released from the archery bow, increasing the resistance produced by the arrow rest 10 and increasing the likelihood of damage to the vanes. Over a period of time, the damage caused by the coil brush 11 to the vanes will degrade the flight performance of the arrow result in the need to replace the vanes.

[0035] Referring now to FIGS. 2-5, an arrow rest of the present invention is shown generally at reference numeral 20. The arrow rest 20 is attached to a riser 21 of an archery bow 22 by a fastener 25 protruding through a mounting bracket 23 and into the riser 21. The mounting bracket 23 is a universa...

Abstract

An arrow rest for guiding and supporting an arrow on an archery bow. The arrow rest includes a base, a plurality of spaced apart arrow supports, and a mounting bracket. Each of the arrow supports include a support shoe and a plurality of bristles. The support shoe is attached to the base. The bristles extend inwardly from the support shoe for supporting an arrow. The mounting bracket attaches the base to the archery bow.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to archery equipment and more particularly to an arrow rest for guiding and supporting an arrow on an archery bow. [0002] Arrow rests are well known in the art. Arrow rests provide a support for an arrow prior to and during drawing of an archery bow to a shooting position. Arrow rests also provide a guide for the arrow to aid the arrow in reaching an intended target after it has been released from the bow string. [0003] While almost every arrow rest is capable of providing a support and a guide for an arrow, there are several other functions that an arrow rest must address. Arrow rests must cause a minimal amount of frictional resistance to an arrow. Frictional resistance results in a loss of energy that would otherwise be transferred to the arrow, resulting in a loss of speed and accuracy. Arrow rests should also make minimal contact with the fletching or vanes of an arrow. Vanes are very important to pro...
