Claim:
1. An arrow rest comprising: a housing with a chamber; a shaft rotatably supported by the housing and extending through the chamber; an arrow support member connected to one end of the shaft; a knob connected to a second end of the shaft; a cord with one end attached to the knob and a second end capable of being attached to a bowstring; a cam attached to the shaft inside the chamber, the cam having a notch; and a finger pivotally attached to a wall of the chamber with one end biased towards the shaft and urged into contact with the cam by a compressible member; wherein the arrow support member is selectively held in a partially up position when the one end of the finger engages the notch of the cam; wherein the cord causes rotation of the arrow support member to a up position and the finger is disengaged from the notch when the cord is attached to a bowstring and the bowstring is drawn; and wherein when the arrow support member is in the up position and the bowstring is released, a biasing member rotates the cam to a down position before the compressible member can urge the finger into engagement with the notch.
