  • Patent number: 5476086
    Abstract: A micro adjust arrow rest including a mounting bracket and a body having a face plate and a U-shaped carriage. Each end of a shaft is supported by the U-shaped carriage. One end of the shaft extends beyond the carriage and receives a collar. A torsion spring is secured inside the carriage adjacent the collar. A launcher body is supported by the shaft within the U-shaped carriage. A pair of launcher fingers are fixed into the launcher body. The torsion spring secured to the carriage and the collar allows the shaft, launcher body, and launcher fingers to bias. Coarse lateral adjustment is provided by a mounting block, mounting bracket, and threaded pin. The threaded pin clamps a female dovetail of the mounting bracket onto a male dovetail of the mounting block. The mounting bracket secures the archery rest to an archery bow and includes a semi-elliptical portion which receives a bolt secured to the bow. The bolt can be tightened anyplace in the semi-elliptical portion for horizontal adjustability.
