The present disclosure generally relates to shooting rests, and more particularly to recoil reducing shooting rests.
Firearm shooting sports are often associated with painful recoil that can result from shooting firearms. A large caliber, heavy recoiling firearm can create an unpleasant experience when firing more than a few rounds. Recoil can be described as the equal and opposite reaction to the momentum of an ammunition cartridge's projectile (e.g., bullet) and gunpowder charge upon firing of the cartridge. This momentum is imparted to the firearm, causing it to travel in the opposite direction of the fired bullet.
Shooters commonly use a shooting rest for supporting a firearm in a steady position when practicing with or sighting-in the firearm. Even when using a shooting rest, flinching or jerking the trigger in anticipation of recoil is a common negative factor in a shooter's accuracy and can present challenges when attempting to sight-in the firearm. Shooters commonly fire upwards of twenty rounds when sighting-in, especially in the case of rifles and shotguns using telescopic sights. To reduce discomfort and inaccuracy resulting from recoil, some shooting rests are configured to absorb recoil to reduce the recoil force felt by the shooter.
One aspect of the present invention is directed to a shooting rest for supporting a firearm. The shooting rest includes a frame. The shooting rest includes a forward support operatively connected to the frame for supporting a forward portion of the firearm. The shooting rest includes a rear support operatively connected to the frame for supporting a rearward portion of the firearm. The rear support includes a stop configured to inhibit rearward movement of the firearm relative to the frame when the firearm is supported on the rest and fired. The stop includes a rear panel having at least one opening therein. The rear support includes a recoil pad for cushioning recoil of a butt of the firearm. The recoil pad includes a resiliently compressible cushion positioned in front of the rear panel and at least one protrusion extending rearward from the cushion through the at least one opening of the rear panel for mounting the recoil pad on the rear panel.
Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing a shooting rest for supporting a firearm. The method includes assembling a rear support for supporting the rearward portion of the firearm. Assembling the rear support includes mounting a recoil pad of the rear support on a stop of the rear support by disposing at least one protrusion of the recoil pad in at least one opening of the stop.
Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a shooting rest for supporting a firearm. The shooting rest includes a frame. The shooting rest includes a forward support operatively connected to the frame for supporting a forward portion of the firearm. The shooting rest includes a rear support operatively connected to the frame for supporting the rearward portion of the firearm. The rear support includes a stop configured to inhibit rearward movement of the firearm relative to the frame when the firearm is supported on the rest and fired. The stop includes a rigid rear panel. The rear support includes a recoil pad for cushioning recoil of a butt of the firearm. The recoil pad includes a resiliently compressible cushion positioned in front of the rear panel. The cushion has a thickness of at least about 0.5 inch extending between front and rear surfaces of the cushion. The cushion includes thermoplastic material having a durometer between about 20 Shore A and about 60 Shore A.
Other objects and features of the present invention will be in part apparent and in part pointed out herein.
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.

In the illustrated embodiment, the frame 12 includes an upper frame member 12A and a lower frame member 12B. The lower frame member 12B is a tube having a generally U-shape with upstanding front and rear ends. The upper frame member 12A is a tube spanning the upstanding ends of the U-shaped lower frame member 12B. Other types and configurations of frames can be used without departing from the scope of the present invention.
A weight support 20 for holding one or more removable weights (not shown) is connected to the lower frame member 12B. It will be understood that addition of removable weight onto the weight support 20 can increase the effective mass of the shooting rest 10 for absorbing recoil force when the firearm is fired. Other types and configurations of weight supports can be used, and the weight support can be omitted, without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, various types of weight supports for supporting removable weight are disclosed in co-assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,011,129 and 8,621,773, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
The rest 10 has three feet 22 for supporting the rest on a support surface such as a table top. Two feet 22 extend downward from opposite sides of the weight support 20, and a third foot 22 extends downward from a rear end of the lower frame member 12B. It will be appreciated that other arrangements for supporting the shooting rest 10 can be used without departing from the scope of the present invention.

The upper brace portion 42A of the stop 42 includes a rigid rear panel 60 and opposite left and right side rigid panels 62 sized and positioned with respect to one another for use in defining the buttstock receiving pocket 40 with a size and shape for receiving the buttstock therein. The upper brace portion 42A has a size and shape for being engaged by a user's shoulder for aiming and firing the firearm when the firearm is supported on the shooting rest 10.
The rear panel 60 is positioned to back the butt of the firearm in use for inhibiting rearward movement of the firearm relative to the frame 12 when the firearm is fired. The rear panel 60 has an inner surface facing toward the pocket, and an outer surface facing away from the pocket. As shown in
The side panels 62 are positioned on opposite sides of and in front of the rear panel 60 for forming the pocket 40 of the rear support 16. The side panels 62 have respective inner surfaces facing toward the pocket 40 and outer surfaces facing away from the pocket. The side panels 62 have rear ends rigidly connected to respective left and right sides of the rear panel 60. The side panels 62 extend forward from the rear panel 60 and taper in height from their rear ends adjacent the rear panel to their front ends. Opposing flanges 68 extend inward from respective left and right side panels 62 adjacent lower ends of the side panels for engaging and supporting the cover 44, as explained in further detail below.
It will be appreciated that the stop 42 is configured for providing a rigid backing to the recoil pad 46 (i.e., inhibiting rearward movement relative to the frame 12 when the firearm is fired). The stop 42 is configured for transmitting rearward force of the firearm generated during recoil from the stop to the frame 12. Desirably, rearward acceleration caused by the recoil force is substantially resisted by mass of the shooting rest 10 augmented by removable weight supported on the weight support 20, as explained more fully in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,011,129 and 8,621,773, incorporated by reference above. This reduces recoil felt by the shooter. Other types of rigid connections of the stop to the frame and other types of stops for providing a rigid backing to the recoil pad can be used without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the side panels can be omitted. Moreover, the stop can comprise flexible material such as fabric configured for providing a rigid backing to the recoil pad (e.g., fabric defining the rear and side panels).

As shown in
Desirably, the cover 44 is formed of a thermoplastic material, such as thermoplastic elastomer or thermoplastic rubber, and has a durometer of between about 70 Shore A and about 100 Shore A, such as about 90 Shore A. The term “about” as used herein with reference to durometer means the inclusive range of plus or minus three units of the stated durometer value. It will be appreciated the cover 44 is softer than the stop 42 and is designed to provide protection for the firearm against scratching, marring, or other damage against the stop.
Covers having other configurations can be used, and the cover can be omitted, without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the cover can be made of several pieces formed separately from each other, the cover can omit the lip, and/or the cover can be configured for covering more or less of the stop than illustrated.

Recoil pads having other configurations can be used without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the recoil pad can be formed as one piece with the cover, the recoil pad can be made of multiple parts formed separately from each other (e.g., separately formed cushion and protrusions), and/or the recoil pad can have more, fewer, or other types of protrusions for mounting the recoil pad on the stop.
As is now apparent, the stop 42, cover 44, and recoil pad 46 can be formed separately and assembled to manufacture the rear support 16. The cover 44 can be positioned in front of the stop 42 and moved rearward to engage the slots 80 with the flanges 68 of the stop. Rearward movement of the cover 44 also brings left and rights sides of the lip 74 into overlying engagement with the top edges of the left and right panels 62 of the stop 42. The portion of the lip 74 adjacent the upper end of the rear wall 70 of the cover 44 can be temporarily deformed to be moved into overlying engagement with the top edge of the rear panel 60 of the stop 42. The recoil pad 46 can be positioned in front of the cover 44 and stop 42 and moved rearward such that the protrusions 92 become seated in the holes 60A in the rear panel 60 of the stop, and the rear face of the cushion 90 becomes seated in the hole 78 in the rear wall 70 of the cover.
In use, the firearm can be supported on the forward and rear supports 14, 16 of the shooting rest 10 for shooting the firearm. The user can engage his shoulder on the rear support 16 and adjust the orientation of the rest 10 and firearm for aiming the firearm at a target. Upon firing the firearm, a portion of the rearward recoil force is absorbed by the resilient compression of the recoil pad 46, a significant amount of the rearward recoil force is transmitted by the stop 42 to the frame 12 for absorbing the force with removable weight on the weight support 20, and the user feels a significantly reduced recoil force on their shoulder against the stop. A recoil pad constructed according to the present invention has been tested and was shown to reduce recoil by about 30% more than a similarly constructed rear support with a cover provided merely to prevent marring of the firearm on the rear support. Accordingly, the rear support 16 disclosed herein provides not only an improved construction for manufacturing assembly purposes, but also an improved performance in reducing recoil. The recoil pad 46 and cover 44 not only protect the buttstock of the firearm from damage against the hard surface of the rear panel 60, but the recoil pad actually serves a substantial role in reducing recoil by absorbing recoil force.
Having described the invention in detail, it will be apparent that modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the invention defined in the appended claims.
As various changes could be made in the above constructions and methods without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
