DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(5) FIG. 1 is a full side view of the rifle support 2. The rifle support 2 has a first end 6 and a second end 8. There is a center opening 14 that runs from the first end 6 through to the second end 8. The rifle support 2 also has a front 16 and a back 18. Also present is a first side 20 and a second side 22.

(6) FIG. 2 is a full frontal view of the rifle support 2. Here the rifle support 2 is in the vertical axis. The rifle support 2 has a first end 6 and a second end 8. There is a center opening 14 that runs from the first end 6 through to the second end 8. The rifle support 2 also has a front 16 and a back 18. Also present is a first side 20 and a second side 22. The rifle support 2 is flexible, meaning being able to be flexed out of linear alignment by the use of a human hand. The rifle support gets its flexibility by being manufactured of rubber elastomer, plastic, etc.

(7) FIG. 3 is a full side view of the rifle support 2. Here the rifle 24 has the rifle support 2 attached to the arm stock 26 and the butt stock 28. The connections are made through the swivel connecters 10 and 12 and attached to a sling or strap 4. Swivel connectors 10 and 12 are a fastening device that allows the weapon that is fastened to the sling to turn around freely upon it. Such a device consisting of two parts, each of which turns around independently, as a compound link of a chain, one part of which turns freely in the other by means of a headed pin or the like. In this case the pivoted support allowing the gun to turn around in a horizontal plane.

(8) The strap 4 has a predetermined length of 30 to 45 inches. It has been discovered that the user can place the second end 8 of the rifle support on their knee and hold the rifle support 2 with the free hand as the rifle 24 rests upon the first end 6 of the support, resting the rifle 24. The utility of the present invention is greatly increased by the user's ability to flex the rifle support 2 in aid of sighting the rifle upon the target.

(9) FIG. 4 shows a full end view of the rifle support 2. This shows the opening 14 that runs from the first end 6 through to the second end 8.
