Abstract
A firearm support apparatus operable to increase the accuracy of a weapon, comprising first and second vertical frame element 20 movably attached to swivel attachment 40 at one end, and movably attached to first and second horizontal frame element 25 by at least one tension spring 30. At the end opposite the at least one tension spring 30, first and second horizontal frame element 25 are optionally held together by a horizontal tension spring 35. It will be appreciated that the first and second vertical frame element 20 and first and second horizontal frame element 25 may be arranged such that they form two nearly triangular supports, allowing for a firearm to be suspended from the apex of one such triangle, and wherein the at least one tension springs are sized and selected to reduce the weight of the firearm suspended therefrom, allowing full range of movement by a shooter.
