The gun rest was designed to function in two environments: deer stand/hunting stand and shooting range from tabletop. When using in a stand, the rubber base of the YPOD hugs the shooting rail without slippage or noise, allowing the raising of the barrel well above the shooting rail, which provides the hunter with a comfortable shooting position, and no more hunching. When used on a tabletop, the base sits firmly on the table to provide a steady shooting position.
