Abstract: A holder for a hunting rifle or other weapon is comprised of a pair of identical assemblies, each of which is adapted to be secured to an individual's thigh. Secured to an individual's thighs, these two assemblies provide a convenient holder for supporting a rifle or other weapon in a position across the individual's lap, thereby freeing the individual's hands to perform other tasks. The weapon, however, is still advantageously positioned so that the individual has ready access to the weapon should game suddenly appear.
