  • Patent number: 6574899
    Abstract: A combined gun rest and armrest is described which includes an armrest which is attachable to a tripod. The armrest has a pair of elongated slots into which U-shaped gun rests are inserted and are laterally adjusted to support a gun. One of the gun rests is constructed to accommodate the forearm of the gun; and the other, the stock of the gun. The lateral adjustment of the gun rests enables the positioning thereof so as to have the center of gravity of the gun aligned with the tripod connection. Upon placing the gun in the gun rests, the opening between the gun and the armrest enables the marksmen to assume the normal shooting position and provides unencumbered access to the trigger and the area surrounding the trigger. The device is constructed to be compatible with the normal physical range. However, in the cases outside the range, the gun rests may be raised or lowered accordingly. Once adjusted for a particular person and for a particular gun, the settings are readily maintained for future use.
