Firearm stabilizing apparatuses

A firearm stabilizing apparatus suitable for securement to a support to stabilize a firearm in a selected vertical aiming position while facilitating horizontal aim positioning of the firearm, the firearm stabilizing apparatus comprising:

• a device mounting assembly comprising an anchor spike configured for securement to the support;
• a reel assembly comprising:
• a reel housing;
• a rotatable reel spool in the reel housing;
• a reel line configurable for extension and retraction within a vertical plane, the reel line of the reel assembly wound on the reel spool and having a proximal line end attachable to the anchor spike of the device mounting assembly and a distal line end attached to the reel spool;
• and
• an entry point between the proximal line end and the distal line end of the reel line, the entry pint corresponding to a point of entry of the reel line into the reel housing on a first side of the reel housing;
• a reel attachment device on the reel assembly, the reel attachment device configured for attachment to the firearm and comprising:
• a reel tether having a first tether end attached to the reel housing of the reel assembly at a second side opposite the first side of the reel housing and a second tether end opposite the first tether end, the second tether end configured for attachment to the firearm;
• the anchor spike of the device mounting assembly configured to facilitate movement of the reel assembly within a horizontal plane when the device mounting assembly is secured to the support;
• and
• the reel assembly selectively configurable to facilitate extension and retraction of the reel line in an adjustment mode of the reel assembly and prevent extension and retraction of the reel line a locked mode of the reel assembly, the reel assembly configured to selectively facilitate positional adjustment of the firearm within the vertical plane in the adjustment mode and securement of the firearm at a selected position within the vertical plane in the locked mode of the reel assembly when the device mounting assembly is secured to the support.

A firearm stabilizing apparatus suitable for securement to a support to stabilize a firearm in a selected vertical aiming position while facilitating horizontal aim positioning of the firearm, the firearm stabilizing apparatus comprising:

• a device mounting assembly comprising:
• an anchor strap configured for securement to the support;
• a reel attachment frame supported by the anchor strap;
• and
• a swivel connector supported by the reel attachment frame;
• a reel assembly comprising:
• a reel housing;
• a rotatable reel spool in the reel housing;
• a reel line configurable for extension and retraction within a vertical plane, the reel line of the reel assembly wound on the reel spool and having a proximal line end attachable to the swivel connector of the device mounting assembly and a distal line end attached to the reel spool, the swivel connector facilitating positional adjustment of the reel line within a horizontal plane;
• and
• an entry point between the proximal line end and the distal line end of the reel line, the entry point corresponding to a point of entry of the reel line into the reel housing on a first side of the reel housing;
• a reel attachment device on the reel assembly, the reel attachment device configured for attachment to the firearm and comprising:
• a reel tether having a first tether end attached to the reel housing of the reel assembly at a second side opposite the first side of the reel housing and a second tether end opposite the first tether end, the second tether end configured for attachment to the firearm;
• and
