Abstract: A handgun rest suitable for field use includes a shooting platform on which the shooter rests the butt of the handgun grip and one or both hands. A first extension member is rotatably coupled to the front of the platform. A second extension member is rotatably connected to the far end of the first extension member. The second extension member nests within the first extension member in the closed position, and, in turn, both extensions rotate onto the platform in the closed position. To open the rest, the shooter rotates the first and second extension members together to a stop and then may then rotate the second extension member relative to the first extension member to a second stop. Along the way, the shooter can secure the angular position of either extension member by tightening a nut to draw together arms of the extension, thereby engaging serrations with a washer through which a pin passes. The weight of the handgun is supported fore and aft, including the shooter's hand or hands.

Abstract: A handgun rest suitable for field use includes a shooting platform on which the shooter rests the butt of the handgun grip and both hands. The platform connects to an adjustable extension member or assembly projecting forward from the platform, angling upwards to provide both the required amount of upward rise and forward extension to come under, and provide the rest for, the forearm or barrel of the handgun. Thus the weight of the handgun is supported fore and aft, including the shooter's wrists and arms. The forward extension is folded when not in use, creating a compact and easily transported package. A leg assembly coupled beneath the platform permits both swiveling and canting. The leg assembly includes a pair of movable legs coupled about an axle which engages a bracket movably mounted under the platform. The bracket engages a pivot about which the bracket may rotate, within constraints, relative to the platform.
