An arrow rest for supporting an arrow on an archery bow. In various embodiments, the arrow rest includes an over-center spring that is operatively coupled to a body of the arrow rest and a rotatable cam received in the arrow rest body. The rotatable cam is rotationally fixed to an arrow launcher. The over-center spring biases the arrow launcher into a first loading position when the spring is in a first position on one side of a central axis about which the cam rotates, and into a second launching position when the spring moves to an opposite side of the cam central axis. A release mechanism is configured to move the arrow launcher from the second, launching position to the first, loading position when an arrow is fired from the bow, but will not move the arrow launcher to the first, loading position if the bow is let down. |

1. An arrow rest for supporting an arrow that is in a launching position on a bow, said arrow rest comprising:
a. a cam that is configured to rotate about a central axis; b. a launcher rotatably mounted adjacent said cam so that rotation of said cam causes said launcher to rotate; c. a first spring having a first end and a second end, wherein said spring second end is operatively coupled to said cam, and wherein said first spring biases said cam into:
(1) a first position where said launcher is in a first, loading position, and(2) a second position where said launcher supports said arrow when said arrow is in said launching position, and d. a second spring having a first end operatively coupled to said cam and a second end configured to be coupled to said bow, wherein said second spring is configured to move said cam from said second position to said first position when said arrow is fired from said bow. |
