Abstract

According to at least one aspect of the present disclosure, a device for retaining a firearm is described, including a first portion configured for attachment to the firearm, the first portion including a tapered distal end ending at a tip and configured for insertion into the ground or a stand, the first portion defining a hanging aperture and a plurality of attachment apertures, each attachment aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures configured to receive at least one adjustment element or at least one attachment mechanism therein.

Claims (24)

1. A device, comprising:

a first portion configured for attachment to a firearm, the first portion comprising a tapered distal end ending at a tip and configured for insertion into a ground or a stand, the first portion defining a hanging aperture and a plurality of attachment apertures, each attachment aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures configured to receive at least one adjustment element or at least one attachment mechanism therein; and

the device further comprising the at least one adjustment element or the at least one attachment mechanism, at least one of the at least one adjustment element or at least one of the at least one attachment mechanism comprising a hook portion positioned within an individual aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures;

wherein positioning the firearm relative to the device permits the hook portion of the at least one adjustment element or the at least one attachment mechanism having said hook portion to couple the device to the firearm and to prevent the at least one adjustment element or the at least one attachment mechanism having said hook portion from unintended removal from the individual aperture.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the hanging aperture is configured as a triangular shape.

3. The device of claim 1 , structured to retain the firearm above the ground without the firearm touching the ground.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first portion configured for attachment to the firearm comprising a rifle, a pistol, or a crossbow.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first portion further defines at least one accessory aperture therethrough.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the at least one accessory aperture is structured as a broadhead wrench configured to accept an arrow broadhead.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the accessory aperture is configured to accept two-, three- or four-blade broadheads.

8. The device of claim 5 , wherein at least one accessory aperture is configured to form an accessory rib configured to accept an arrow nock.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first portion further defines a ridged grip portion so to facilitate engagement or grip when positioning the tapered distal end into the ground or the stand.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of attachment apertures comprises two attachment apertures, and wherein each attachment aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures is configured to receive at least two adjustment elements, at least two attachment mechanisms, or at least one adjustment element and at least one attachment mechanism therein.

11. The device of claim 10 , further comprising the least two adjustment elements, the at least two attachment mechanisms, or the at least one adjustment element and the at least one attachment mechanism within each aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of attachment apertures comprises three attachment apertures, and wherein each attachment aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures is configured to receive at least three adjustment elements, at least three attachment mechanisms, or a combination of one or more of the at least three adjustment elements and one or more of the at least three attachment mechanisms.

13. The device of claim 12 , further comprising the at least three adjustment elements, the at least three attachment mechanisms, or the combination of one or more of the at least three adjustment elements and one or more of the at least three attachment mechanisms, within each aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures.

14. The device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of attachment apertures comprises four attachment apertures, and wherein each attachment aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures is configured to receive at least four adjustment elements, at least four attachment mechanisms, or a combination of one or more of the at least four adjustment elements and one or more of the at least four attachment mechanisms.

15. The device of claim 14 , further comprising the at least four adjustment elements, the at least three attachment mechanisms, or the combination of one or more of the at least four adjustment elements and one or more of the at least four attachment mechanisms, within each aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures.

16. A device, comprising:

a first portion configured for attachment to a firearm, the first portion comprising a tapered distal end ending at a tip and configured for insertion into the ground or a stand, the first portion defining a hanging aperture and a plurality of attachment apertures, each attachment aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures configured to receive at least two adjustment elements or at least two attachment mechanisms therein; and

the device further comprising the at least two adjustment elements or the at least two attachment mechanisms, at least one of the at least two adjustment elements or the at least one of the at least two attachment mechanisms comprising a hook portion positioned within an individual aperture of the plurality of attachment apertures;

wherein positioning the firearm relative to the device permits the hook portion of the at least one of the at least two adjustment elements or the at least one of the at least two attachment mechanisms having said hook portion to couple the device to the firearm and to prevent the at least one of the at least two adjustment elements or the at least one of the at least two attachment mechanisms having said hook portion from unintended removal from the individual aperture; and

wherein the device is structured to retain the firearm above the ground without the firearm touching the ground.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the first portion further defines a ridged grip portion so to facilitate engagement or grip when positioning the tapered distal end into the ground or the stand.
