Abstract:

A device for holding an arrow to an overdraw rest system of a bow comprising a first plate; a second plate; a mechanism for coupling the first plate to the second plate to define an L-shaped configuration; a flapper stop pin coupled to the edge of the first plate opposite the edge where the first and second plates are coupled, the pin extending therefrom; a flapper having a first end, second end, and intermediate portion therebetween, the first end having a adapted to be rotatably coupled to the first plate near the flapper stop pin, the second end adapted to hold the shaft of an arrow securely to an overdraw rest system until the arrow is ready to fire, whereupon firing, the rubber flapper releases its hold of the arrow, causing the second end to rotate about the first end until the intermediate portion makes contact with the flapper stop pin, whereby ensuring that the flapper does not make contact with the arrow and alter its direction of flight; a mechanism for rotatably coupling the flapper to the plate; and a mechanism for coupling the second plate to an overdraw rest system.
