  • Arrow holder
    Patent number: 5697356
    Abstract: An arrow holder which has a trigger and a retainer is disclosed. The arrow holder holds the arrow against the bow, whether the bow has an overdraw or not, until a fraction of a second before the arrow is released. Pressing the finger pull causes the retainer to rotate away from the arrow just before the drawn arrow is released. The retainer is able to rotate fully out of the way of the arrow shaft and fletching, so that the trajectory is not affected.
