Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fall away arrow rest system for use with a compound bow having a string. The arrow rest system is adapted to support a shaft of an arrow while a tail section of the arrow engages with the string for shooting of the arrow. The arrow rest includes a housing, a rotatable shaft having a first portion mounted with and supported by the housing and a second portion extending from the housing, a launcher and a pair of arms defining a channel therebetween for accepting the arrow shaft, an activator operative to selectively urge rotation of the rotatable shaft and movement of the launcher from an upright arrow support position to a lowered position, and including a locking component moveable from an engaging position to releasably lock the position of the rotatable shaft when the launcher is at the upright arrow support position, and a disengaging position.

Abstract: The present invention is an fall-away arrow rest for an archery bow. It is comprised of a housing having a cavity. A shaft extends into the housing and is rotatable between a set position and a release position. A shaft pin is coupled with the shaft that extends away from the shaft and into the cavity. A first spring is provided to urge the shaft towards the release position. A weight is coupled with the housing and positioned in the cavity so that it can pivot between a locking position and an unlocking position with the weight being biased with a second spring towards the locking position. A pin stop is provided in the weight to receive the shaft pin when the shaft is in the set position and the weight is in the locking position. An arrow support is coupled with the shaft portion that extends outside of the housing. A cover is supplied across the cavity to prevent the entry of deleterious materials.

Abstract: An arrow rest apparatus capable of being mounted on an archery bow adjacent the point of contact of an arrow with the bow. The arrow rest apparatus includes support structure, a shaft member rotatably carried by the support structure, the shaft member being oriented so that the axis thereof is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the arrow, first biasing mechanism associated with the shaft member urging rotation of the shaft member in one direction, arrow supporting structure affixed to the end of the shaft member closest to the arrow, and a latch mechanism associated with the shaft member. The latch mechanism includes a portion affixed to the shaft member, an arm portion pivotally mounted on the support structure, the arm portion being engageable with the shaft affixed latch portion.
