         7 . The arrow rest device of  claim 6 , wherein the geometric shape of the shaft and the corresponding geometric shape of the cord accessory are polygon shapes. 
     
     
         8 . The arrow rest device of  claim 6 , wherein the cord accessory is re-indexed by selecting a side of the geometric shape. 
     
     
         9 . The arrow rest device of  claim 5 , wherein the geometric shape of the shaft and the corresponding geometric shape of the cord accessory clamp together. 
     
     
         10 . The arrow rest device of  claim 5 , wherein the geometric shape of the shaft and the corresponding geometric shape of the cord accessory are splines. 
     
     
         11 . The arrow rest device of  claim 2 , wherein the cord accessory has a lever arm assembly having a lever arm body, a looped cord, a lever arm clamp, and a clamp fastener. 
     
     
         12 . The arrow rest device of  claim 11 , wherein the lever arm has a protrusion formed thereon, and the lever arm clamp slides along an axis of the protrusion. 
     
     
         13 . The arrow rest device of  claim 12 , wherein the cord winds at least part way around the protrusion. 
     
     
         14 . The arrow rest device of  claim 12 , wherein the protrusion is threaded to receive a fastener through an opening in the lever arm clamp. 
     
     
         15 . The arrow rest device of  claim 14 , wherein the lever arm clamp applies a clamping force when a surface of the lever arm clamp and a surface of the lever arm body are parallel to one another. 
     
     
         16 . The arrow rest device of  claim 15 , wherein the clamping force is applied to the cord between the lever arm clamp and the lever arm body. 
     
     
         17 . The arrow rest device of  claim 15 , wherein the clamping force is applied to the cord via the fastener. 
     
     
         18 . An arrow rest device comprising:
 a mounting bracket for attachment to a bow riser;   a geometrically shaped surface of the mounting bracket;   a coupler having a mating attachment surface for connecting with the geometrically shaped surface of the mounting bracket;   an accessory for attachment to the coupler;   an opening formed in the accessory; and   a shaft received through the opening formed in the accessory, the shaft rotatable in the opening formed in the accessory, the shaft having a first end to accommodate an arrow launcher, and the shaft having a second end to attach to a cord;   wherein the second end of the shaft includes a cord clamping accessory.   
     
     
         19 . The arrow rest device of  claim 18 , wherein the cord clamping accessory compresses the cord between two mostly parallel surfaces that are independent of the force applying fastener.
