Benefits of technology

[0014]These features makes the gun rest according to the invention quite versatile, in that it can readily be used with different size gun stocks. It can also provide at least two different gun heights, due to the rectangular profile.
[0015]Preferably, said grooves are formed such that their w

Problems solved by technology

However, these are heavy and can be cumbersome to transport and store, and tend to leak sand as they become older.
They can also damage the surfaces of the vehicle due to their weight.
Bipod-style gun-rests tend to be heavy and awkward to transport.
They typically also only contact the front end of the rifle, which leaves the rear unsupported and therefore unstable, while small adjustments in sighting are diffic

Embodiment Construction

[0019]The invention is a gun rest constructed from a block of flexible polymer material. The surfaces of the block have set into them at least two, preferably four, rare earth magnets that allow the block to be very stably engaged with a metal surface, such as the roof or turret of a motor vehicle.

[0020]Grooves are provided in the surface(s) of the gun rest that are adapted to snugly receive the stock of a rifle.

[0021]This construction allows the gun rest to be very light and easily portable. The inventors have found that EVA foam is a very suitable material for the construction of the block. It is light, resilient and weather-resistant. It is also flexible enough for the shooter to adjust the sight line of a rifle while it remains within the grooves.

[0022]The relatively low weight of the gun rest, combined with the strong adherence to an external panel of a motor vehicle facilitated by the magnets, allow it to remain in place on the vehicle while it is being driven.

Abstract

A portable gun rest made substantially from a block of polymer foam material, featuring magnets attached to at least one surface opposite said groove to enable the gun rest to be removably attached to a metal surface.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to the field of equipment for sporting shooters. In particular, the invention relates to an improved design for a portable gun rest for mobile shooting from a vehicle.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Hunters and sporting shooters commonly access hunting areas using a vehicle such as a utility (‘ute’) or a four-wheel-drive truck as a transport to locate and / or pursue targets. Typically, one person will drive the vehicle while one or more shooters will ride on the back of the vehicle.[0003]When a target is located, the vehicle is stopped and the shooter / s attempt to shoot the target using rifles. The rifles may be held freely, or the shooter may use a gun rest to stabilise the rifle sight-line during targeting.[0004]It is known in the prior art to use sand bags as gun rests. However, these are heavy and can be cumbersome to transport and store, and tend to leak sand as they become older. They can also damage the surfaces of the vehicle due to...
