  • Patent number: 5018294
    Abstract: A rifle support supporting the forearm of the user and designed to attach along the forearm of the user. The design braces the forearm against the thigh or knee of the user. The rifle support is designed so as to fold up to be no longer than the forearm in order that it might be carried on the forearm without interfering with other activities while in use. The brace has two main sections, one held fixed to the forearm and the second bracing the forearm member against the knee. Both members fold together. The second member is of adjustable length to allow the user to adjust the height at which the forearm is held with the one free hand.
