Rifle Support Attachment for Tripod

Abstract

The weapon support attachment supports and balances a rifle atop a conventional weapon tripod. The weapon support attachment includes an elongated tripod rail and a pair of adjustable support yokes extending from the tripod rail. The tripod rail is shiftably secured by the clamping mechanism to the tripod head. The rifle is seated atop the support attachment and balanced between the two support yokes. The tripod rail can be secured at any point along its length. Each support yoke includes a yoke seat and a threaded shaft that extend vertically through one of a plurality of bores formed in the tripod rail. The threaded shafts allow the height of the yoke seats to be adjusted relative to the longitudinal axis of the tripod rail. The distance between the support yokes can be adjusted by the selective placement of the threaded shafts within any of the plurality of bores.
