Howdy y'all... anyone find a source for a V or U yold gun rest that fits into a 3/8" 16 unc thread for my spotter tripod?

Figured I'm carrying the tripod anyway may as well make it more functional.

Cheers!

Make one!
I used a piece of aluminium angle, drilled a hole through it to use a 3/8" socket cap screw and used a 3/8" rod connector. Use some red locktite on the bolt threads and tighten it up.
Covered the angle with some soft rubber.

Hmm good point! If I can find one for 10 bucks I'd buy one. However being hunting I bet it's closer to 30.

Outdoorsmans has one. Made to fit their dovetail system but I'm pretty sure it's threaded underneath for standard tripod mounting.

can find lots on amazon, the one I use was around $15, but of course can get more expensive ones too

Ended up building one that I'm pretty happy with.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone!
