1. A fall away arrow rest system for use with a bow, the arrow rest comprising:
a housing adapted for mounting to a bow;
a rotatable shaft supported by the housing;
a launcher coupled to the rotatable shaft and configured to receive a shaft of an arrow;
a turn knob configured for receiving or coupling with a first end of a cord;
a gear coupled to the rotatable shaft and including gear teeth;
a pawl configured to engage with the gear teeth; and
a biasing element that biases the pawl to engage the gear;
wherein rotating the turn knob in a first direction about an axis of rotation results in rotation of the turn knob about the rotatable shaft without transferring rotation to the rotatable shaft;
wherein rotating the turn knob in a second direction about the axis of rotation opposite the first direction results in the pawl engaging the gear teeth to transfer rotation of the turn knob to the rotatable shaft.
