It's called a "Heal"?

[gun'sRgood]

I saw this add for an adjustable stock rest. Pretty much eliminating the need for a bag. It was in one of the gun magazines which is a dangerous place. Because I like these magazines and they pretty much drive my Wife nuts as I have a bad habit of leaving them everywhere. If you have an idea of where I can find these, please let me know. Thx all.

Are you thinking of Accu-Shot’s monopod?

Maybe this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0034361BC/?tag=652221-20

A picture or link from the OP would help us all know what they are referring to.

When I heard “stock rest” I was thinking buttstock and in reading other responses I realize this is far more open to interpretation than my tiny brain allotted for. These attach to a standard sling stud, eliminating the need for a rear bag.

I am confused. My rifles' butts have heels and toes. But no heals.
(And if butts have heels and toes shouldn't they be called soles?)

Yea, when I saw "heal" I immediately thought of recovering from an injury.

Me too, are we talking front of the rifle support? Or rear?

... are we talking front of the rifle support? Or rear?

That clarification would help.

No, I don't think so...? It looks like it's a part of a skeletonized stock. About 2" wide and 5" long. Attached by two adjustable something-er-others onto the bottom of the stock. Thx

Sorta. But instead of a single point of contact they have some 5"-6" [?] of a pad. Same width as the pictured though. Thx

Kinda what I think of myself when I forget my place in the universe.

 

[gun'sRgood]

The rear. Like the pictured monopod attachments but If I recall, two points of contact on a pad some 2x5". Thus giving it a greater degree of stability.

Thx for your interest and effort. If you took the area that your monopod is affixed to and could raise or lower that section, w/o the monopod, You would have what I believe they called a heal.

An adjustable bag rider?

Looks about right. There were other examples I spotted as well, took some screenshots.

The all metal monopod is infinitely height adjustable - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/its-called-a-heal.928492/#post-12851432

If using a rear support Ive always run a bag.

If I had a pic or the link, I wouldn't be here asking for a pic or a link.

Hey thx guys. Someone asked me if it was a heal or a toe. Sorry about that, you were on the correct path. My addled brain thought heal. No, It is a toe. The article was in the March 2014 issue of Guns and Ammo. By Tom Beckstrand titled Mind the Toe $290. Now to find one!
