Abstract: A safety supporting apparatus for an arrow while the arrow is nocked and positioned on an arrow rest. Two safety arms, that do not touch the arrow, but are sufficiently close to the shaft of the arrow so that if the arrow is laterally dislodged from the rest, the arrow will briefly contact one or both of the arms, causing the arrow to be repositioned on the rest. Once the bow is drawn back into firing position, the arms are automatically rotated away from the arrow, permitting it to be fired without the shaft or fletching contacting the safety supporting arms. An optional third arm is also provided in an alternative embodiment so that vertical displacements from the arrow rest can also be prevented. The apparatus is adaptable for compound, recurve or longbow styles of bow and can be used with or without an overdraw mechanism.
