Abstract: A rotatable fishing arrow rest comprising a threaded support member (with or without lock nut) adapted to thread into an arrow rest hole provided in the arrow window of an archery bow wherein the support member pivotally retains a roller having a pair of rubber O-rings of two difference diameters (larger diameter O-ring mounted on the outer and the smaller O-ring mounted on the inner side of the roller relative to the archery bow) in the window area of the archery bow such that the arrow shaft makes rolling contact with each rubber O-ring as the arrow is launched. The rotatable arrow rest can further be equipped with a fabric cushion that attaches to the archery bow adjacent to the rubber O-rings such that the arrow shaft touches the fabric cushion as the arrow is launched. Such a rotatable arrow rest is particularly useful in absorbing the oscillations and lateral forces created in a fishing arrow shaft by the archery bow, while simultaneously reducing frictional losses.

Abstract: A fishing rod which is foldable is pivotally attached at one end to the handle of a bow. The fishing line from a reel is attached to the arrow which is to be shot and extends through the eyelet of the fishing rod to the fishing reel. The fishing rod is folded to about half its length and is rotated about the pivot point down out of the way so as not to hamper the normal shooting of the arrow. When the arrow strikes a fish, the fishing pole is unfolded and rotated to its operating position by triggering a lever. The fishing reel and rod can then be used to reel in the fish.
