Abstract
An improved arrow rest and archery bow are disclosed. The arrow rest has guides for directing an arrow shaft to an arrow support region defined between the guides. Preferably, two adjustable, spring-biased contacts are disposed in the arrow support region for supporting the arrow. The guides allow an archer substantial latitude for initial placement of the arrow shaft on the rest. Furthermore, the guides will return a jarred arrow shaft to the arrow support region. A support structure interconnects the guides with an archery bow.
