PISTOL REST
Continuedfrom page J6
Clamp the rest to the bench and be sure
the gun is properly placed in the holder
and locked onto the carrier. On the rear of
the base, there's a large notch. Place the
carrier down, so that the large rod that protrudes
from each side at the rear rests in
that notch. About halfway up the base,
there's a flat pin, which protrudes upward.
Push forward on the carrier until it's snug
against the notch, then slide it sideways
until the arm rests against the pin sticking
out of the base.
At this point, I take a sight picture to see
just where the gun is pointing. The rest is
fully adjustable for windage and elevation_
Load the gun and make sure that the
carrier is snug against the contact points.
Keep light pressure on the gun, since you
must fire it by hand. Grip the holder as you

Now 0 .. your ..ew••fa..d'
would if you were holding the gun by the
factory stocks. Fire the gun single-action,
allowing the entire carrier to recoil off the
base for each shot. After the shot is fired,
just replace the carrier snugly, and you're
ready to fire again. It's simple to use, and
will certainly tell you what your loads are
capable of doing.
Since the gun must be fired by hand,
some of the real dinosaur killers-such as
the .44 Magnum with heavy loads-can get
mighty hard on the hand after a few
rounds.
The best news is the rest's cost. For less
than $50 you can buy the base and carrier
assembly. Holders are sold separately, and
are available for most popular makes of
revolvers and autos.
If you've been thinking about something
along those lines, but didn't want to
spend a fortune, it certainly would be
worth your time to take a look at this rest.
