Versatile shooting rest

摘要

A versatile shooting rest has a base with an adjustable riser on its nose. A clamp mechanism holds a riser in place so that a rest on the riser's end can be situated at desired heights. The base affixes to a tripod or other stand and preferably uses a ball stem that allows for rotation. The base supports the butt, handle, or rear portion of the weapon, while the rest on the riser's upper end supports the forearm, barrel, or front portion of the weapon. An insert can attach in this rest so the rest and insert can accommodate various types of weapons. The versatile shooting rest can be adjusted to accommodate a number of weapons used for hunting, including handguns, pistols, revolvers, long rifles, AR style rifles, and crossbows.
