Abstract
A system for shooting an armament includes a connector configured to connect to a supporting structure, a side to side windage device connected to the connector, an up and down windage device connected to the connector, at least one guide rail connected to the up and down windage device, a carriage slidably connected to the at least one guide rail, and a gas spring connected to the carriage and the up and down windage device. The system rests a gun during shooting, assists steady aim, and limits any significant jarring and recoil impacting the gun, the system and any support, as well as virtually eliminates recoil force borne by the shooter.
Claims12
A system for shooting an armament, a structure is in vicinity of the armament, comprising:
- a support device configured for attachment to the structure;
- a pivot device connected to the support device, providing up and down and side to side movement with respect to the support device;
- a guide rail connected to the pivot device, the guide rail extending longitudinally from the pivot device and moveable swinging up and down and side to side;
- a fork device connected to the guide rail for cradling the armament;
- and
- a force resistive moveable component extending longitudinally in parallel with the guide rail, the force resistive moveable component damps recoil force of the fork device on shooting.
A system for damping recoil of a gun when shooting, comprising:
- a carriage for retaining the gun;
- a windage device connected to the carriage, providing up and down and side to side movement of the carriage with respect to the windage device;
- a guide rail connected to the carriage, the guide rail extending longitudinally along the carriage;
- and
- a guide block slidably connected to the guide rail;
- and
- a gas spring connected to the guide block and the carriage.
A method of manufacture of a gun rest for a gun, comprising:
- providing a carriage for the gun;
- providing a windage device;
- connecting the windage device to the carriage for up and down and side to side movement of the carriage with respect to the windage device;
- connecting the carriage to a guide block;
- connecting a guide rail to the carriage extending longitudinally with the carriage from the windage device;
- slidingly connecting the guide block to the guide rail;
- and
- connecting a gas spring to the guide block and the carriage, the gas spring damps movement of the carriage with respect to the windage device.
