Abstract
Disclosed herein is a stabilizing shooting rest that includes a base attachable to the belt of a wearer. The stabilizing shooting rest further includes a telescopic elongated member having a proximate end attached to the base and extending to a distal end, the telescopic elongated member attaching to the base such that the telescopic elongated member is movable about the base with at least two rotational degrees of freedom. The stabilizing shooting rest further includes an arm rest at the distal end of the telescopic elongated member, the arm rest configured to stabilize a desired portion of a rear arm of the wearer while the wearer is shooting.
Claims19
A stabilizing shooting rest comprising:
- a base including a clamp, the clamp having an upper and a lower member;
- a telescopic elongated member having a proximate end attached to the base and extending to a distal end, the telescopic elongated member attaching to the base such that the telescopic elongated member is movable about the base with at least two rotational degrees of freedom;
- an arm rest at the distal end of the telescopic elongated member, the arm rest configured to stabilize a desired portion of a rear arm of a wearer while the wearer is shooting;
- and
- a bow holder element attachable to the base, the bow holder element including a connecting plate, a first finger and a second finger, wherein the first and second fingers are spaced apart such that a limb of a bow is insertable therein.
A method of stabilizing a firearm or crossbow comprising:
- providing a stabilizing shooting rest that includes:
- base portion including a clamp, the clamp having an upper and a lower member;
- telescopic elongated member having a proximate end attached to the base portion and extending to a distal end, the telescopic elongated member attaching to the base portion such that the telescopic elongated member is movable about the base portion with at least two rotational degrees of freedom;
- an arm rest portion at the distal end of the telescopic elongated member, the arm rest portion configured to stabilize desired portion of a rear arm of a wearer while the wearer is shooting;
- and
- a bow holder element attachable to the base, the bow holder element including a connecting plate, a first finger and a second finger, wherein the first and second fingers are spaced apart such that a limb of a bow is insertable therein;
- attaching the stabilizing shooting rest to an object;
- resting a rear arm or elbow on the arm rest portion of the stabilizing shooting rest;
- and
- holding a rear end of a firearm or crossbow with the rear arm.
A stabilizing shooting rest comprising:
- a base including a clamp, the clamp having an upper and a lower member;
- a bow holder element attachable to the base, the bow holder element including a connecting plate, a first finger and a second finger, wherein the first and second fingers are spaced apart such that a limb of a bow is insertable therein, wherein the connecting plate is configured to integrate with a flat surface of the base, the connecting plate rotatably attachable about the base in a plurality of positions, wherein a first surface of the connecting plate includes a protrusion, and wherein the flat surface of the base includes a plurality of first openings arranged in an arc, the protrusion configured to be inserted into each of the plurality of first openings to retain the bow holder element in each of the plurality of positions;
- a telescopic elongated member having a proximate end attached to the base and extending to a distal end;
- and
- an arm rest at the distal end of the telescopic elongated member, the arm rest configured to stabilize a desired portion of an arm of a wearer while the wearer is shooting.
