Claim:
A fall away arrow rest system for use with a bow, the arrow rest comprising: a housing adapted for coupling with the bow, the housing, including a cavity having an arcuate wall with an indention defined therein; a rotatable shaft including a first portion mounted with and supported by the housing and a second portion extending from the housing; a launcher attached to the second portion of the shaft; and an activator body disposed within the housing cavity and coupled with the shaft, the activator body being operative to selectively urge rotation of the shaft and movement of the launcher from an upright position to a lowered position, and including a locking component moveable from a retracted position to an extended position wherein said locking component extends into said extended position and is received into said indention in said arcuate wall of the housing to substantially eliminate the launcher from bouncing back up when the launcher moves from the upright position to the lowered position.
