The Colosseum Gun Rest, finished in Realtree EDGE Camouflage, can help hold your favorite scattergun in place while you're waiting on that longbeard to present the perfect shot. Constructed from rigid foam, the rest can be affixed to a shotgun (or rifle) barrel, allowing for hands free use. This can be particularly handy when using turkey calls. The Gun Rest also has silicone-bead technology in the barrel trough, for maintaining steady shots at both long and short range. Finally, the rest has a side striker pocket to ease the changing of sounds on a pot call, and a quick-detach elastic adjustable strap for a cutomizable fit, making it easy to attach to one's knee without restricting movement.
