Abstract:

A firearm rest is provided that quickly, quietly, and easily permits mounting to all known firearms, including all long guns, such as rifles, primitive muzzle loading weapons, and shotguns as well as pistols and crossbows. The weapon is positioned upon, but not fastened to, the lower surface, or cradle, of a U-shaped weapon rest. This embodiment of the invention is easily, quickly, and quietly adjusted to the needed elevation, and even when secured in place can still articulate easily to the right or left for tracking a target. Another feature of the invention is a lower bi-pod support fastened to a mono-pod with the firearm receiver above and supported by a height adjustable monopod. The invention lower bi-pod portion permits resting directly on the ground or on the shooter's thigh as seated upright on the ground or on an armrest of an elevated seat supporting the weapon to the shooters eye level, or aiming and shooting level.
