Claim:
1. A shoulder-supported platform for stably supporting a shooter's gun-holding hand when shooting a handgun, comprising: a shoulder support made of at least one elongated strip of metal of a first constant cross section defining a forwardly-extending first tab and a rear section shaped to engage a shooter's shoulder; a hand-engaging bracket shaped to matably support a shooter's gun-holding hand without touching the handgun while the shooter's gun-holding hand holds the handgun; the bracket consisting of an upright side wall and a bottom wall that define an L-shape when viewed in a fore-aft direction, the walls combining to define a recess that is upwardly open and laterally open so that the bracket, when positioned under and engaging a backside of the shooter's gun-holding hand, is shaped to receive the shooter's other hand to hold the bracket against the shooter's gun-holding hand; and the bracket including, a second tab having a same cross section as the first constant cross section, and one of the bracket and the shoulder support having a tube forming a socket shaped to receive the first and second tabs and hold them in an abutting juxtaposed position.
