arrow rest
This is a piece of equipment that is mounted on a bow and it keeps the arrow away from the riser. It is also where the arrow sits right before it is shot. Some compound bows have vibration sensitive rests. These rests collapse when the arrow is released to prevent the arrow from hitting the rest and sending it off course.
