Because it turns your trekking pole into a stable rest for firearms and optics. Trekking poles make backcountry travel safer for hunting, birdwatching, and hiking. While the RoadRunner Rifle Rest was designed for hunting, having a stable rest can be useful for all sorts of optics. Since it weighs just over, 1 ounce it can be permanently attached to your pole.

Trekking poles are hugely beneficial to hunters, and offer benefits across ares of stability, speed, and endurance.

• Help balance on uneven terrain
• Reduce strain on knees, especially when walking down hills
• Increase power and endurance when walking uphill
• Improve posture, stay more upright and help breathing.
• Increase speed
• Provide extra stability
• Reduce fatigue
• Build muscles in arms, shoulders, neck and back
  

RoadRunner Rifle Rest is designed to fit the vast majority of trekking and ski poles available. It can attach to any pole with a diameter of 14mm - 20mm

Absolutely! While the arm is in the deployed position it can support any number of optics. It's great for stabilizing:

• Rangefinders
• Spotting Scopes
• Binoculars
• Cameras/Smartphones

We love the RoadRunner Rifle Rest for birdwatching, outdoor photography, and for super stable on-the-go pictures while hiking or skiing.

There are 3 parts to the RoadRunner Rifle Rest:

1. Pivoting arm
2. Front plate
3. Back plate

The pivoting arm is attached to the front plate via a pivot-bolt. This bolt is adjusted at the factory.

There are two hex socket bolts clamping the RRRR to a pole. They are inserted through the front plate to engage recessed nuts in the back plate. A hex key is included with the rest in the extra bolt bag.

The back plate has an upper cutout that needs to be matched to the front plate so the bolt holes align.

Place the two hex bolts through the front plate. Ensure the pivoting arm faces up, so that the Logo faces down when the arm is extended.

Sandwich the pole between the two plates. Insert both hex bolts and gently tighten. Adjust the position on the pole and tighten the screws equally until a firm pull on the rest confirms it won’t move.

***CAUTION! - Carbon fiber can be damaged by over tightening the bolts***

The included two extra shorter bolts can be used for smaller diameter poles so there is less protrusion of the bolts.

The RoadRunner Rifle Rest is made from high quality materials and should last many years if not abused. The hardware is stainless steel so it is also very durable. If you have any problem with the performance of the RoadRunner Rifle Rest, please contact us and we will do everything possible to make it right.

Because the RoadRunner Rifle Rest is so lightweight, it can be left attached to your pole. Normally the pivot arm is stored folded up against the pole. When ready to use the RoadRunner Rifle Rest, simply pivot the arm into the extended position. For travel, fold up the RoadRunner Rifle Rest so that the pivot arm contacts the pole.
