Abstract:

A lightweight gun rest swivel seat apparatus that positions a hunter in a compact sitting configuration on the ground or supported on a bucket yet allows the hunter to support and adjust the elevation of a gun barrel and simultaneously rotate the seat member to track a moving target. The apparatus includes a planar lower platform and a lower seat member and a back support. The seat member is coaxially aligned and disposed over the lower platform. A rotating joint is disposed between the seat member and the lower platform. Pivotally attached to the seat member is a forward extending, gun support. During use, the seat member and the gun rest may rotate 360 degrees. The gun rest is adjustable in length and biased to automatically lengthen when no downward force is applied. Two or more folding leg assemblies are attached to the bottom surface of the lower platform.
