Abstract:
A hunting arrow rest system used in conjunction with a bow and arrow, the system having an arrow rest with a loading gate, the system allowing for the proper orienting of arrows on a bow through the funnel principle, the system comprising, in combination:a bow having a curved front portion with a centrally positioned handle, the curved portion having remote ends spaced from the handle with a string coupling the ends; an arrow having a linear shaft with a remote end having a point and a near end having a radial slot for positioning within the string prior to release and shooting; a hunting arrow rest assembly removably coupled to the handle of the bow, the hunting arrow rest assembly including a two piece link having a fixed component with one end removably coupled to the handle to effect the coupling between the fixed component and the handle, the two piece link also including a pivotable component in an L-shaped configuration having one end coupled to the fixed component with an intermediate threaded fastener, the pivotable component having a generally horizontally oriented cylindrical opening with a planar slot and a plurality of threaded fasteners coupled through the planar slot; an arrow rest frame in a generally cylindrical configuration having a pair of circular apertures in horizontal alignment with the cylindrical opening of the pivotable component, the frame having a pair of spaced threaded apertures there through at equally spaced 60 degree angles from a vertical centerline of the frame; a pair of pins, each pin being formed with threads for being adjustably received within one of the threaded apertures of the frame, the pins having exterior ends exterior of the cylinder and interior ends interior of the cylinder, the interior end being closely spaced with respect to each other at a distance less than the diameter of the shaft of the arrow for the support of the arrow shaft during operation and use; a threaded horizontal rod extending through the circular apertures of the frame and the cylindrical opening of the pivotal component for positioning the frame in a proper orientation with respect to the bow and the handle; and a threaded vertical rod extending upwardly through the frame from the bottom most extent of the frame to contact and hold the horizontal rod in proper position during operation and use.
