Abstract
A shooting stand for supporting a user and a gun thereon includes a center post, a plurality of legs extending outwardly from a bottom end of the post, a gun support at the top end of the center post to support the gun, and a seat assembly supported on the center post at an intermediate location between the gun support assembly and the inner ends of the legs which is adapted to support the user thereon. The gun support and the seat assembly are both pivotal about an upright axis of the center post relative to the legs. The gun support, the seat assembly and the legs are all foldable into a collapsed position extending generally alongside the center post for ease of transport and storage.
