Abstract:
An energy absorber and method are described herein. The energy absorber, in an embodiment, includes a shooting equipment coupler, a base, a support, a plurality of cord segments that couple the base to the support, and an object coupled to the support. The base, support and cord segments are configured so that the cord segments have an initial shape before an aiming force is received, change to an aim response shape after the aiming force is received, and change to a shot response shape after a shot force occurs.

Claim (Index 1):
An energy absorber comprising:\n a shooting equipment coupler configured to be coupled to a portion of shooting equipment; a base configured to be coupled to the shooting equipment coupler, wherein the base comprises:\n a first base portion; and \n a second base portion \n a support comprising:\n a support surface; \n a first support portion; and \n a second support portion \n a first cord segment that couples the base to the support, wherein the first cord segment extends from the first base portion to the first support portion; a second cord segment that couples the base to the support, wherein the second cord segment extends from the second base portion to the second support portion; and an object comprising a weight, wherein the object is coupled to the support surface, wherein the object is configured to move relative to the base in response to vibrational energy in the shooting equipment, wherein the first and second cord segments are configured to maintain a distance between the support surface and the base during the movement of the object, wherein at least one of the cord segments is configured to flex relative to the base during the movement of the object, wherein the flexing of the at least one cord segment causes an absorption of at least part of the vibrational energy.
