A hands-free gun support has an adjustable telescoping barrel stand that
supports the front end of a gun in a cradle. The gun butt is attached to
a gun butt harness, which is removably attached to a shoulder harness
worn by the hunter. The gun is aimed at the firing position and both the
telescoping barrel stand and the butt harness support are adjusted so
that the gun is completely supported in the firing position and the
user's hands are free. The barrel stand height, as well as the horizontal
and vertical orientation of the gun mounting cradle can be adjusted and
locked. Adjustment of the gun butt harness is accomplished by a standard
adjustable clip and a push-button clip in the shoulder harness. The gun
support is especially suited for hunting turkey hunting or other game
animals that are extremely sensitive to the slightest movement of the gun
or the person holding the gun. Hunters engaged in such pursuits must
spend long hours holding the gun steady without motion. This otherwise
painful task is ameliorated by the hands-free gun support. In use of the
present invention, the hunter's hands are not required to hold, steady or
aim the gun. All the hunter needs to do is to wait without movement until
the time for a firing event.
