Hunter's Specialties Gun Rest Knee Pad



I heard about the gun rest on one of the older hunter specialties turkey hunting videos. I was kind of skeptical about buying the gun rest at first; but after I used it, I was sold on it. Who would’ve thought something so small and simple could make a huge difference. Here is a test. Next time you are turkey hunting, sit down with your back to a tree, get your gun ready, and sit your gun on your knee. I guarantee after 10 minutes, your knee will start to hurt.

The gun rest allows you to sit your gun on your knee and use your calls without slipping. Letting you stay in the shooting position all the time. You are free to use your calls and keep your gun stationary. The first thing I do when I get out of my truck is put on the gun rest. You can’t even tell it’s there. It’s practically weightless. There is only one strap and easy to adjust. It also comes in Realtree APG camo pattern. So if you can’t afford to buy a bipod, tripod, or v-pod for your gun, buy the gun rest knee pad. For $12 bucks, you won’t be disappointed.

First Turkey Hunt on Video



I'ts kinda funny how things turn out. We really didn't plan this hunt. I was mowing my lawn and Jason comes over to see if I want to go help him get a birthday gift for his dad. Afterwards, we decided to go out to a friend of mine's property and see if we could get something to gobble. I grabbed some gear, threw it in the truck and took off. Shortly after pulling up to the property and getting our gear on, I realized I didn't bring any gloves or facemask. I thought I had placed them in my turkey vest. We walk towards the camper to see if my buddy had anything in there I could use. He didn't have anything, but he had a Primos box call sitting on the table that was just like Jason's box call. I picked it up, jokingly hit it a couple of times, and asked Jason if it was his. Before Jason could reply, a turkey gobbled out in the woods. We'll we took off to a little field we thought we could call them into. We setup in a hurry. Jason offered to give me his facemask and gloves so I could be the shooter, but since I forgot mine, I let him setup as the shooter. Shortly after we sat down and started calling, we realized there were two gobblers. I was too enthralled with the possibility of getting this hunt on camera then I was in getting a double. Jason kept telling me to get my gun ready, but these gobblers were moving quickly, and I never could get setup. Anyways, the rest of this is caught on camera, so I'll leave it for you to watch. I honestly feel like it was just as exciting and heart pounding to capture this with the camera then it would have been if I had been a shooter. This all happened within 15 or 20 minutes after we hit that call at the trailer.
