Abstract: An arrow rest for archery bows which includes a mounting bracket which may be fixed to the bow. The mounting bracket may be of an extended rearward length, such that the arrow rest may be employed with arrows having a shorter length. The mounting bracket supports a pivot cylinder for rotation therein. Mounted about the pivot cylinder is a support collar which may be adjusted circumferentially and longitudinally of the cylinder. The collar mounts a pair of arrow supports which are elongated and extend outward toward free ends. Adjustment means are provided to vary the distance between the free ends for different arrow types. A coil spring is located within the cylinder and is fixed to one end thereof. The mechanism for fixing the spring to the cylinder may also function as a limit on the rotation of the cylinder. An adjustment member is releasably fixed to the mounting bracket and extends into the cylinder.
