Abstract: A spring tension arrow stabilizing mechanism is provided with trigger-controlled disengagement. The arrow stabilizing mechanism includes a mounting bracket for attachment to a bow, an elongate rod rotatably mounted through the mounting bracket so as to have a forward end and a rearward end, a holding mechanism mounted on the rearward end of the rod, and a trigger mechanism pivotally mounted to the mounting bracket and attached to the forward end of the rod. The trigger mechanism has an at rest position and a pulled position. The holding mechanism has an engaged and a disengaged position, with the engaged position for stabilizing an arrow on the bow. A tension element biases the trigger mechanism into the at rest position and the holding mechanism into the engaged position. Pivoting of the trigger mechanism to the pulled position causes rotation of the elongate rod and thus the holding mechanism mounted thereon to the disengaged position.
