Abstract
An arm rest for supporting an extended upper arm is provided in which the arm rest can be adjusted to accommodate the height of the user. Particularly adapted for hunting, the arm rest attaches to the belt of a hunter and extends upward to an arm pad upon which the hunter rests his upper arm while aiming at his target. The length of the arm rest as well as its angular position relative to the hunter can be easily adjusted to provide the most comfortable setting for the hunter. When not in use, the arm rest can be recessed and hang from the waist so as to not interfere with walking about. Alternatively, the arm rest can pivot about its base and be secured in a rearward direction, preventing its entanglement in brush.
