The clampable bipod includes a clamp which is releasably clamped to at least one of the barrel, the rail and the stock, and a first leg and a second leg connected to the clamp. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A shooting device, comprising: at least one of a barrel, a rail and a stock; and a clampable bipod including a clamp which is releasably clamped to at least one of said barrel, said rail and said stock, and a first leg and a second leg connected to said clamp, said clamp including a plurality of jaws, and a fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg said clamp including a first arm connected to said first leg and a second arm connected to said second leg, said first arm including a first cam surface and said second arm including a second cam surface, said fulcrum being provided by said first cam surface in contact with said second cam surface. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The shooting device of claim 1, further including an adjustable compression device connected to said clamp. ### Claim 3 (canceled) ### Claim 4 (canceled) ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The shooting device of claim 1, wherein each of said first leg and said second leg include a receiver connected to said clamp and an extender connect to said receiver, said receiver includes a longitudinal direction and a plurality of holes extending in said longitudinal direction, said extender includes a spring ball received in any of said plurality of holes. ### Claim 6 A clampable bipod for use with a shooting device, comprising: a first leg and a second; and a clamp connected to said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a plurality of jaws, and a fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a first arm connected to said first leg and a second arm connected to said second leg, said first arm including a first cam surface and said second arm including a second cam surface, said fulcrum being provided by said first cam surface in contact with said second cam surface. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The clampable bipod of claim 6, further including an adjustable compression device connected to said clamp. ### Claim 8 (canceled) ### Claim 9 (canceled) ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The clampable bipod of claim 6, wherein each of said first leg and said second leg include a receiver connected to said clamp and an extender connect to said receiver, said receiver includes a longitudinal direction and a plurality of holes extending in said longitudinal direction, said extender includes a spring ball received in any of said plurality of holes. ### Claim 11 (depends on 6) The clampable bipod of claim 6, wherein each of said first leg and said second leg include a receiver, an extender received within said receiver, a collet connected to at least one of said extender and said receiver, and a collet nut connected to said collet. ### Claim 12 (depends on 6) The clampable bipod of claim 6, further including an aperture in said clamp, said aperture including a longitudinal direction, at least one of said first leg and said second leg are rotatable about an a axis transverse to said longitudinal direction. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The clampable bipod of claim 12, wherein said clamp includes at least one leg stop limiting a rotation of at least one of said first leg and said second leg. ### Claim 14 (depends on 6) The clampable bipod of claim 6, wherein said clamp includes a cushioning device. ### Claim 15 A method of attaching a clampable bipod to a shooting device, comprising the steps of: positioning said clampable bipod adjacent to at least one of a barrel, a rail and a stock of said shooting device; clamping said clampable bipod to at least one of said barrel, said rail and said stock, said clampable bipod including a clamp connected to both a first leg and a second leg said clamp, said clamp including a plurality of jaws, and a fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including a first arm connected to said first leg and a second arm connected to said second leg, said first arm including a first cam surface and said second arm including a second cam surface, said fulcrum being provided by said first cam surface in contact with said second cam surface. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further including the step of compressing said clamp on said at least one of a barrel, a rail and a stock using an adjustable compression device connected to said clamp. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further including the step of rotating at least one of said first leg and said second leg about an axis transverse to a longitudinal axis of said clamp. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further including the step of extending at least one of said first leg and said second leg. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further including the step of pivoting at least one of said first leg and said second leg about a said fulcrum of said clamp. ### Claim 20 A shooting device, comprising: at least one of a barrel, a rail and a stock; and a clampable bipod including: a first leg and a second leg; a clamp which is releasably clamped to at least one of said barrel, said rail and said stock, said clamp being connected to said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including both a plurality of jaws, and a fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg; and an adjustable compression device connected to said clamp, said adjustable compression device interposed between said plurality of jaws and said fulcrum. ### Claim 21 A clampable bipod for use with a shooting device, comprising: a first leg and a second leg; a clamp being connected to said first leg and said second leg, said clamp including both a plurality of jaws, and a fulcrum between said plurality of jaws and both said first leg and said second leg; and an adjustable compression device connected to said clamp, said adjustable compression device interposed between said plurality of jaws and said fulcrum.
