Abstract:
1. A rifle recoil absorption system for attaching a rifle to a surface, wherein said rifle comprises a forestock, a stock, a butt, a muzzle, and a barrel, wherein said surface comprises a top, a bottom, a rifle support structure and an elevated barrel rest extending generally upward from said surface, said rifle recoil absorption system comprising: a harness, said harness configured for absorption of recoil, said harness comprising a first loop configured for extending around said rifle butt, said first loop having two extensions, a first extension configured for extending on a first side of said rifle and a second extension configured for extending on a second side of said rifle, said extensions configured for extending generally adjacent to said stock and said forestock towards said muzzle, wherein said first loop is configured to absorb recoil force generated when said rifle is fired; a second loop attached to said first extension of said first loop, said second loop attached adjacent to a first side of said forestock and configured for extending in a generally perpendicular direction from said first loop, said second loop configured for extending generally over a top of said barrel and attached to said first loop at a point adjacent to said second side of said forestock and generally opposite of said attachment point on said first side of said forestock, wherein said second loop is configured to absorb rifle kick back force when said rifle is fired; wherein said first extension and said second extension are configured to extend generally toward said muzzle to a point wherein said extensions are configured to extend towards a front edge of said surface and configured to extend under said shooting surface, and a tensioning means attached to said first extension and said second extension beneath said surface, wherein said tensioning means is attached to said surface, said tensioning means is configured to tighten and loosen said harness by lengthening and shortening said harness such that when said harness is tightened said harness is configured to support said rifle such that said harness is configured to absorb recoil force and kickback force generated when said rifle is fired.
