Abstract: An arrow rest is moveable between an encapturing configuration and a discharge configuration. The arrow rest comprises a body, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm is movably mounted with respect to the body. The second arm is also movably mounted with respect to the body. Responsive to movement from the encapturing configuration to the discharge configuration a first portion of the first arm and a first portion of the second arm operate to move away from each other, while a second portion of the first arm and a second portion of the second arm operate to move toward each other.

Abstract: An archery bow comprises a riser, two limbs with a bow string coupled between them, and an arrow rest comprising: a body coupled with the riser via a mount; a first arm having a rotatable shaft extending from the body; a tab extending radially from the rotatable shaft; a second arm having a second rotatable shaft extending from the body and coupled by gearing to the rotatable shaft; a second tab extending radially from the second rotatable shaft; and a drive mechanism. The tab has a recess. The second tab has a second recess. In an encapturing configuration, the recesses form an aperture to encapture an arrow shaft when portions of the tabs are substantially in plane. In a discharge configuration the aperture releases the arrow shaft when the portions are substantially parallel. The drive mechanism rotates the first and second arms from the encapturing configuration to the discharge configuration.
