BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
1. Field of the Invention 
The present invention relates to Gun Rest Devices and more particularly 
pertains to a new Adjustable Gun Resting System for providing an 
adjustable compact gun rest which supports a gun while allowing the user 
to easily adjust the height of the gun to a comfortable shooting position 
preventing the user from having to bend over during operation of the gun. 
2. Description of the Prior Art 
The use of Gun Rest Devices is known in the prior art. More specifically, 
Gun Rest Devices heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist 
basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, 
notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art 
which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and 
requirements. 
Known prior art Gun Rest Devices include U.S. Pat. No. 5,284,280; U.S. Pat.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 
thereof, a new Adjustable Gun Resting System embodying the principles and 
concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the 
reference numeral 10 will be described. 
More specifically, it will be noted that the Adjustable Gun Resting System 
10 comprises a gun resting base 20 for providing stability, a supporting 
means 30 secured to the gun resting base 20, a gun holding means 40 
slidably secured to the supporting means 30 and an adjusting means 50 for 
adjusting the elevation of the gun holding means 40. 
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6, it can be shown that a first 
triangular-support member 32 is formed to the shape of a right-triangle 
with a first adjusting slot 36 paralleling the hypotenuse edge of the 
first triangular-support member 32. A second triangular-support member 34 
is aligned parallel to the first triangular-support member 32 formed to 
the shape of a right-triangle with a second adjusting slot 37 paralleling 
the hypotenuse edge of the second triangular-support member 34. The second 
triangular-support member 34 further comprises an aligning slot 38 
paralleling the hypotenuse edge of the second triangular-support member 
34. A protective padding 42 is secured to the top of a gun support arm 44 
by a protective padding fastener 46. The gun support arm 44 comprises a 
support arm aperture 48 near the rear end of the gun support arm 44. An 
adjusting bolt 52 projects through an adjusting washer 56 then projecting 
through the first adjusting slot 36, projecting further through a bushing 
58, thereupon through the support arm aperture 48, then projecting through 
another bushing 58, then through the second adjusting slot 37, thereupon 
projecting through another adjusting washer 56, and at that point coupling 
with a wing nut 54 as shown in FIG. 6 of the drawings. An aligning shaft 
59 is secured to the gun support arm 44 which then projects into the 
aligning slot 38 maintaining the gun support arm 44 parallel to the gun 
resting base 20. 
In use, the user simply loosens the wing nut 54 and slides the gun support 
arm 44 to the desired position. The user then tightens the wing nut 54 
securing the gun support arm 44 allowing placement of a gun upon the gun 
support arm 44 for shooting. 
As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the 
present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. 
Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and 
operation will be provided. 
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the 
optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to 
include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of 
operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to 
one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those 
illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are 
intended to be encompassed by the present invention. 
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the 
principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and 
changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired 
to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and 
described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may 
be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
