Abstract:
A magnetic arrow rest biasing apparatus for use in combination with an arrow rest attached adjacent to the handgrip of a bow, said arrow rest having a pivoting unit with an arrow shaft support thereon rotationally engaged with a support member attachable to said bow and a means to bias said pivoting unit to rotate forward, said magnet arrow rest biasing apparatus comprising:means to magnetically bias said pivoting unit in a rearward direction at a force sufficient to overcome said means to bias said pivoting unit to rotate forward; and said means to magnetically bias said pivoting unit in a rearward direction comprising a magnet and a magnetically attractive component with gap maintained therebetween a most forward biased position of said pivoting unit to a most rearward biased position of said pivoting unit, whereby the forward force of a moving arrow on said shaft support communicated to said pivoting unit will add sufficient forward bias to overcome said bias of said pivoting unit in a rearward direction, thereby rotating said shaft support from contact with any surface of said arrow.
