Claim:
1. A shooting rest, comprising: first and second poles; a gun rest assembly for holding the first and second poles in selected angular relationships and at selected locations along the poles, the gun rest assembly includes a swivel connecting a first rest component mounted reciprocally to the first pole, and a second rest component mounted reciprocally to the second pole; a first clamp assembly carried by the first rest component, the first clamp assembly is movable between a clamped position restricting reciprocal movement of the first rest component relative to the first pole, and an unclamped position permitting reciprocal movement of the first rest component relative to the first pole; a second clamp assembly carried by the second rest component, the second clamp assembly is movable between a clamped position restricting reciprocal movement of the second rest component relative to the second pole, and an unclamped position permitting reciprocal movement of the second rest component relative to the second pole; and the first clamp assembly comprises a pair of first jaws mounted to the first rest component on either side of the first pole for movement between clamped positions, defining the clamped position of the first clamp, clamping the first pole therebetween restricting reciprocal movement of the first rest component relative to the first pole, and unclamped positions, defining the unclamped position of the first clamp, releasing the first pole therebetween permitting reciprocal movement of the first rest component relative to the first pole.
