An articulating aiming support for use in an elevated stand enables a marksman to stabilize shots for increased accuracy while reducing fatigue from holding a rifle in a free position. The rest may also be used for photographic uses by using a camera mount in place of a shooting stick. The firearms rest comprises of two sections of tubing which slide into one another with a pivot mounted to one end, which is used to mount the rest onto a tree stand, while the tube which extends has a plurality of supports on the other end. These supports have mounting pads located on the ends, which are adjustable for height, which the marksman uses mount the apparatus to base of a tree stand, steadying their shots. The firearms rest collapses down for ease of transport and storage and may be made from any, strong lightweight material. |
