A shooting rest, components thereof, and associated methods. The shooting rest includes a frame, a forward firearm support connected to the frame, and a rear firearm support connected to the frame. The rear firearm support includes a stop configured to limit rearward movement of the firearm with respect to the frame when the firearm is fired. A liquid tank is supported by the frame and is configured to hold liquid to increase the effective mass of the shooting rest to reduce recoil felt by a shooter when the firearm is fired.

A firearm stabilizing accessory 16 is disclosed which may include a firearm interface 24, a distal joint 26, and a proximal joint 28. The firearm stabilizing accessory 16 may further include an arm 30 disposed between the distal joint 26 and the proximal joint 28. The proximal joint 28 may connect a boom 32 to the arm 30. The boom 32 may further include a brace 34 and a handle 36. The handle 36 may further include a surface 40 which may serve as a cheek weld for an operator of a handgun 12 which may be secured to the firearm interface 24.

The disclosure relates to the field of supporting devices and objects with tripods. In particular though not exclusively the invention relates to a tripod assembly comprising a tripod chassis body which is supportable above a surface by a plurality of tripod legs which are arranged, in use, below the chassis body, the chassis body defining a central aperture between the tripod legs, a functional module which fits in the central aperture, and locking means for locking the functional module, which has been located in the central aperture. In this way a number of functional modules can be used with a tripod to support a variety of objects such as firearms, photographic devices, or payloads. The disclosure also relates to a tripod central column according to the preceding claim including means for containing a plurality of tool components.
