Rifle Rest on a Treestand

Having trouble getting a steady rest off your treestand?

Get yourself a shovel handle, broomstick, PVC pipe or whatever. Drill a hole through the top and put some cord through the end. Hang it from a nail or screw-in step on the tree so you have it stored between hunts. Wrap something like parachute cord, rawhide, or duct tape on it so that won't mar your rifle in the most likely height you'll be shooting from. Fit the bottom end with a dowel, a tape-wrapped lag screw etc. so that it won't go through the bottom of your stand. Use it to steady your shots by grabbing it and then using the top of your hand as a rest.

Paint it drap or camo, or even hunter orange, just be sure to add some black streaks to break up its form a little bit.
