Bipod for firearms

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention generally relates to systems for supporting and/or stabilizing a gun for a shooter or other user of firearms. More particularly, the invention relates to systems that include a bipod for supporting the front of a gun and/or an adjustable gun stock. The bipod is easily attached to the gun and set-up and, in use, provides a great range of movement of the gun relative to the bi-pod, including tilting of the gun forward or backward, as well as panning side to side.

#FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the bipod embodiment of FIG. 1, with the extendible shoulder piece also exploded.

#FIG. 3 is a side view of an alternative extendible shoulder piece.

#Referring to the Figures, there are shown several, but not the only, embodiments of the invented pod support and embodiments of the adjustable gun stock that may optionally be used on a gun being supported by the invented pod support. Further, the invention may comprise a method of using the invented pod support and an extendible shoulder piece within a shooting system for use by adolescents. The preferred embodiment of the adjustable gun stock is described first in the text below, followed by a description of preferred embodiments of the invented pod support. As used herein, “weapon” is intended to include all human-held weaponry including, but not limited to: military weaponry, rifles, shotguns, pellet guns, “BB” guns, firearms, paint guns, and crossbows. Typically, but not necessarily, the weapons used with the invented pod support are shoulder-fired, so that the front/barrel of the gun is supported by the invented pod support and the rear/butt of the gun is supported by the user's shoulder.

#Adjustable Gun Stock

#An extendible shoulder piece for a weapon may be provided as a system for stabilizing and supporting the rear of the weapon against the user's shoulder, but, due to its adjustability, by means that allow very precise adjustment of the length of the stock depending upon the physical features and size of the user.
