Shouldered shooting rest chair

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a firearm rest chair for resting a firearm on a rest that allows the shooter to shoulder the firearm, while the weight of the shooter absorbs the recoil of the firearm. The firearm rest chair employs a rigid frame that supports a seat and a rest point for a firearm to allow the shooter's body weight to absorb the recoil of a firearm. The disclose rest point for the firearm allows the shooter the ability to shoulder the firearm.
