  • Patent number: 6951072
    Abstract: A barrel bracket in the form of a split ring is secured adjustably to a gun barrel at any point on the barrel and at any desired angle of orientation. A hook pivotally attached to the ring has a sharp point for piercing external structures, such as trees, fences, or other wooden objects to secure the barrel to the structure and act as a gun rest. The hook closes with the point shielded so that the gun may be carried and used normally since the attached gun rest is light weight and has no large protruding structures. Alternately, a built in barrel bracket is positioned on one side or the other or one on each side for right handed and left handed shooters.
