Adjustable gun rest apparatus

A gun support apparatus, comprising:

• a base portion;
• a first arm member pivotably coupled to the base portion;
• a second arm member pivotably coupled to the base portion, wherein the first and second arm members are independently rotatable about a same axis, wherein each of the first and second arm members comprises
• a first link extending along a first link axis and attached to the base portion at a proximate end of the first link, and
• a second link extending along a second link axis and attached to the base portion at a proximate end of the second link, wherein a distal end of the second link is attached to a distal end of the first link, wherein an angle formed between the first link axis and the second link axis is less than 90 degrees, and wherein the second link includes a fine-tuning adjustment that comprises
• a shaft portion having a threaded end, and
• a knob portion having a threaded hole formed therein, wherein the threaded end of the shaft portion is adapted to mate with the threaded hole to provide a variable length for the second link.

A method of assembling a gun support apparatus, comprising:

• assembling first and second arm members, wherein the assembling of each of the arm members comprises
• attaching a first link to an upright member,
• attaching the first link to a distal support member having a generally U-shaped cradle portion or clamp that is adapted for supporting a gun, such that the first link is located between the distal support member and the upright member,
• attaching a second link to the upright member,
• attaching the second link to the first link, wherein the second link has a variable length and includes a fine-tuning adjustment;
• pivotably attaching the first arm member to a base portion;
• and
• pivotably attaching the second arm member to the base portion, wherein the first and second arm members are independently rotatable about a same axis.

A gun support apparatus, comprising:

• a base portion comprising an upright shaft extending along an axis;
• a first arm member pivotably coupled to the upright shaft of the base portion;
• a second arm member pivotably coupled to the upright shaft of the base portion adjacent the first arm member, wherein the first arm member and the second arm member are both configured to independently pivot about the axis;
• and
• wherein each of the first and second arm members comprises
• an upright member,
• a distal support member,
• a first link pivotably coupled to the upright member and attached to the distal support member, such that the first link is located between the distal support member and the upright member, and
• a second link attached to the upright member and attached to the first link, wherein the second link has a variable length and includes a fine-tuning adjustment comprising a shaft portion having a threaded end, and a knob portion having a threaded hole formed therein, wherein the threaded end of the shaft portion is adapted to mate with the threaded hole.
