Abstract
A device to rest and balance firearms at continuously adjustable height to enable firing from the prone, kneeling, sitting and standing positions. The device includes two hollow cylindrical telescoping rigid tubes, the inner of which includes a top member defining an upper firearm supporting yoke and the outer of which has attached to it a continuously adjustable spring-locking device defining a lower firearm rest. A strong, flexible cable is provided within the tube which, with the upper firearm support used as a handle, converts the device to an animal choke stick. A detachable ground spike is mounted to the base of the outer tube and doubles as a knife. A separate attachment for insertion into the top of the inner cylindrical tube is further provided for resting and balancing cameras.
