US12480730 - Firearm shooting rest

A firearm rest configured to attach to a mounting surface, such as the generally horizontal window sill of a hunting blind. The firearm rest includes a support member, support posts, and an attachment assembly. The support member provides a generally horizontal surface for a hunter to rest the forearm of a firearm. The support posts are configured to selectively adjust the height of the support member relative to the attachment assembly. The support posts are pivotably combined with the attachment assembly thereby allowing the support member to be movable between an extended position and a retracted position while the attachment assembly remains secured to the mounting surface. The retracted position is sometimes desirable to allow the hunter better access to the window or the window sill.
