A weapon rest assembly for stabilizing a weapon while shooting includes a post, which is engaged to and extends from a first end of a beam. The post comprises a plurality of nestable segments so that the post is selectively length adjustable. A rest is engaged to the post distal from the beam. A first attachment module is selectively engageable to the beam and is mountable to a tree stand so that the beam is mounted to the tree stand. A weapon held by a shooter positioned in the tree stand can be positioned on the rest to stabilize the weapon. A second attachment module is selectively engageable to the beam and is mountable to the ground so that the beam is mounted to the ground. A weapon held by a shooter positioned on the ground can be positioned on the rest to stabilize the weapon.

A supporting device is disclosed for the removable attachment thereof to a wooden object such as a tree trunk that avoids the insertion into the wooden object of a metallic fastener that could later damage machinery used while processing the wooden object. The supporting device includes a support plate having a first face and a second face and a first and a second edge. The support plate defines a plurality of apertures, each aperture of the plurality of apertures extending between the first and the second face of the support plate. A plurality of legs are provided with each leg having a first and a second extremity. Each leg threadably cooperates with a corresponding aperture of the plurality of apertures. A plurality of feet are provided with each foot being attached to a corresponding second extremity of each leg such that in use of the supporting device, the plurality of feet abut against the wooden object for supporting, stabilizing and spacing the support plate relative to the wooden object. The support plate further defines a first slot and a second slot spaced from the first slot with each of the slots extending from the first face to the second face. An elongate flexible strap has a first termination and a second termination such that in use of the supporting device, the flexible strap extends through the first slot and the second slot of the support plate. A tensioning fastener attached to the flexible strap includes a first portion secured to the first termination of the flexible strap. A second portion is attached to the flexible strap between the second termination of the flexible strap and the first portion of the tensioning fastener. The arrangement is such that in use of the supporting device, the flexible strap loops around the wooden object and the first portion of the tensioning fastener cooperates with the second portion of the tensioning fastener for selectively tensioning the flexible strap. The flexible strap extending between the first slot and the second slot of the support plate is disposed between the support plate and the wooden object

Portable hunting blind is adapted for concealing and facilitating exit of hunter. Portable hunting blind including blind side panel and blind top panel. Blind side panel includes front panel, rear panel, and end panels removably mounted to front panel. Each of the front panel, rear panel and end panels includes legs. Blind top panel includes front top panel and rear top panel pivotally mounted to center brackets mounted to end panels. Front top panel comprising blind top is thrown back over rear top panel to impede rear exit for hunter, and to allow hunter to demount front panel and open front panel outward as a gate to exit portable hunting blind. Rear top panel is operated similarly to allow hunter to exit from back of portable hunting blind.

Convertible seats that can convert a seat from a standard seating position to an elevated seating position are provided. The convertible seat includes a primary seating surface integrally formed with a secondary seating surface, where the convertible seat can move between a standard seating configuration in which the primary seating surface is generally parallel with the ground and the secondary seating surface is generally perpendicular to the primary seating surface and an elevated seating configuration in which the secondary seating surface is generally parallel with the ground and the primary seating surface is generally perpendicular to the secondary seating surface. The elevated seating configuration can support a user in a sitting or leaning position that is higher than a sitting position in the standard seating configuration.
