Abstract

A recoil reduction system for sighting-in a firearm is disclosed. The system includes an attachment member configured and arranged to attach to a surface or object, such as a shooting bench, tree stand or a tree. A strap having a first end and a second end is included. The first end of the strap is connected to the attachment member. A sling is formed on the second end of the strap. The sling has a loop configured and arranged to receive the buttstock of a rifle. A stand having a rigid plate configured and arranged to support a bipod of a rifle may also be included.

         2 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment member is a hook. 
     
     
         3 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment member is a claw. 
     
     
         4 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment member is a clamp. 
     
     
         5 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , further comprising a strap adjuster about midway down the strap. 
     
     
         6 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the strap adjuster is a buckle. 
     
     
         7 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the strap adjuster is a stamped metal strap adjuster. 
     
     
         8 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the strap adjuster is a clasp. 
     
     
         9 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the strap separates into two legs that are attached to the sling. 
     
     
         10 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the sling includes a loop configured and arranged to go around the stock near the heel and toe of the buttstock of the rifle. 
     
     
         11 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 10 , wherein the loop includes an adjustment portion. 
     
     
         12 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 11 , wherein the adjustment portion is a hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         13 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 11 , wherein the adjustment portion is an elastic band. 
     
     
         14 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the sling further includes a buttstock strap attached to the loop configured and arranged to wrap around the rear of the buttstock. 
     
     
         15 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , further comprising a stand having a rigid plate configured and arranged to support a bipod of a rifle. 
     
     
         16 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the plate further includes four adjustable feet configured and arranged to level the stand. 
     
     
         17 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the feet are threaded into bores on the plate and secured by a lock nut to prevent the feet from loosening from the bores. 
     
     
         19 . The recoil reduction system of  claim 1 , wherein the feet include pointed ends.
