Claim:
An arrow rest for a bow comprising: an arrow rest mount; an arrow rest base disposed adjacent said arrow rest mount; a first arrow support disposed adjacent a top surface of said arrow rest base, wherein said first arrow support defines: a first base portion extending upward from a base of said first arrow support wherein said first base portion defines a first ramped face that extends upwardly and rearwardly along a leading edge of said first base portion; a first angled top portion extending upwardly and forward from an upper end of said first base portion; and a second arrow support disposed adjacent a top surface of said arrow rest base, wherein said second arrow support defines: a second base portion extending upwardly from a base of said second arrow support wherein said second base portion defines a second ramped face that extends upward and rearward along the leading edge of said second base portion; a second angled top portion extending upward and forward from an upper end of said second base portion; wherein: said arrow rest base, said first arrow support, and said second arrow support are disposed about an axis of rotation; said first arrow support and said second arrow support are adapted to rotate about said axis of rotation to exert opposing lateral forces on an arrow at substantially the same time; and said opposing lateral forces facilitate the movement of said arrow up said first ramped face and said second ramped face.
