LIGHT WEIGHT, DURABLE, SHOCK ABSORBENT, ADJUSTABLE, MOUNTING ASSEMBLY

Abstract

An adjustable mount is disclosed which can hold an electronic recording device on a hunting firearm like a rifle, so as to be able to record a kill and be able to look at the screen of the phone to see the crosshairs in the scope. The device makes it easier for younger kids to be able to make a shot and convenient for older hunters that have problems with their eyes to be able to see. The device enables sharing of the recording over a social computing based network.
