A shooting rest for different weapons provides ends that are offset from the central portion of the rest to provide a space that accommodates a portion of the weapon being used with the rest. The shooting rest can be used with one or two supports that engage the weapon being used with the rest. Each support includes pliable arms that can be configured by the user to a custom shape. Each arm has an inner member that can be bent with no or little spring back to allow the user to shape the arm to a desired configuration. When in use, the entire rest can be tilted about its main support. A support assembly includes an adjustable arm that carries the shooting rest from the top of a monopod that is anchored to allow repositionable use without interference with the hunter's legs.
A selectively adjustable and lockable utility mount is used to mount a device to a stable structure. The utility mount includes a hydraulic lock that applies the locking force that maintains the locked condition of the utility mount. Mounting brackets for utility mounts have spaced-apart mount elements that engage a surface of a stable structure. Some configurations of mounting bracket include mount elements that are movable between stored conditions and deployed conditions. The stored conditions reduce the size of the device to make it more convenient to pack. A climbing stick uses the storable mount elements.

A shooting rest for different weapons provides ends that are offset from the central portion of the rest to provide a space that accommodates a portion of the weapon being used with the rest. The shooting rest can be used with one or two supports that engage the weapon being used with the rest. Each support can be rotationally adjusted about a vertical axis and tilted about a horizontal axis. Each support can be tilted inwardly to a storage position for storage and transport of the rest. When in use, the entire rest can be tilted about its main support. A support assembly includes an adjustable arm that carries the shooting rest from the top of a monopod that is anchored to allow repositionable use without interference with the hunter's legs.
An adjustable mount can be secured to a rail of a hunting tree strand. The mount allows a device to be mounted at a comfortable and usable level for one sitting in a tree stand. The mount provides adjustability so that its longitudinal axis can be adjusted to vertical or horizontal even when the rail to which it is mounted is not perfectly horizontal or vertical. The mount can be used for electronic devices such as cameras and range finders. The mount also can be used with run or bow rests.

An adjustable mount for holding equipment or an equipment-holding arm at, for example, a hunting location such as a deer blind or a tree stand includes a base mounting bracket and an adjustable ball joint removably secured to the mounting bracket. The base mounting bracket is secured to something and can be left in place during the hunting season. The ball joint can be removed and taken with the user. In some configurations, the ball joint can be locked in a desired orientation which is maintained when the ball joint is removed from the base mounting bracket so that the desired orientation is reestablished when the user replaces the ball joint in the base mounting bracket. One version of the ball joint includes a piston cylinder used to release locking pressure to allow for adjustment. The piston cylinder can be pneumatic or hydraulic. A configuration of the base mounting bracket can be readily assembled from a collapsed flat configuration. An articulating equipment holding arm with first and second arms provides an adjustable mount for holding equipment.

A tag in the form of a band provides ballistic information for rifle ammunition or flight or sight information for arrows. The band is selectively attachable to the weapon such that the ballistic information is readily available to the user of the weapon and the band can be removed and used again on the same or a different weapon. The band can wrap around a portion of the weapon and be held by friction or a combination of friction and compressive force. The band can be elastic and stretch over the stock of a rifle or shotgun, the grip of a handgun, the stock of a cross bow, or a counterweight on a compound bow. The disclosure also provides a method for providing the ballistic information to the user of the weapon through the band that is selectively attachable to the weapon. The band can be provided with the container of ammunition at the time of purchase.
