  • Patent number: 11796273
    Abstract: A rifle support comprises a leash with a loop end, an opposed free end, and an intermediate portion. The leash has a width and a plurality of spaced apart stoppers sized larger than this width. A hook comprises a suspension panel portion and a support portion offset from the suspension panel portion. The support portion includes an upward facing support surface when the suspension portion is vertical. The suspension panel has an elongated side edge and an upper end and a slot entering at the side edge. The slot width is greater that the leash but smaller than the stopper so as to admit the leash while denying passage of the stopper. The leash may be girded around a tree with its intermediate portion passing through the loop and the free end depending downward, with the hook slot receiving the leash and stopped a stopper.
