A support pod that supports a weapon in a firing position includes a support tube telescopingly joined with a leg having a longitudinal axis. A lock portion defines grooves downwardly angled relative to the longitudinal axis. A guide portion defines recesses downwardly angled relative to the axis. The recesses can be distal and separate from the grooves, and both optionally are downwardly spiraling. The leg is operable in a locked mode, in which a lock element is in a groove, and a guide element is in a corresponding recess, to set a first overall length of the support. The leg can operate in an adjustment mode in which the lock and guide element can transition out from the groove and recess, and can move to other respective grooves and recesses chosen by a user to set the pod at another overall length. A related method of use is provided.

An apparatus for mounting a weapon to a support structure comprising a pintle assembly including a slide block; a pintle coupled to the slide block; a pintle lever with a handle and a rod rotatably coupled to the slide block; and a clamp assembly including a fixed jaw having a first end and a second end forming at least one knuckle; a moveable jaw having a first end and a second end forming a pin; and a clamp lever that releasably couples the first end of the fixed jaw with the first end of the moveable jaw; wherein the pin of the moveable jaw is rotatably coupled to the at least one knuckle of the fixed jaw; the pintle lever is rotatably coupled to the fixed jaw of the clamp assembly; and the pintle assembly and the clamp assembly are rotatably and releasably coupled to each other.

A firearm steady rest includes a tree stand unit and a universal steady rest unit. The tree stand unit has a tubular stand mount and U-bolts to secure the tree stand unit to a tree stand. A bottom slide is slidably received within the tubular stand mount while a tubular rest mount is pivotally connected to the bottom slide. A stand clamp secures the bottom slide within the tubular stand mount while a rest clamp secures the universal steady rest unit within the tubular rest mount. The universal steady rest unit includes a steady mount having a circular post region proportioned to rotate within the tubular rest mount. A steady rest is pivotally coupled to the steady mount via a pivot plate. A tubular extension member may also be included. The firearm steady rest may fold into a bundle measuring less than 4 inches by 4 inches by 28 inches.
