1. Unfold the Legs of the Chair by pushing rmly on the frame and pulling on the cross-bar between the legs
2. Loosen the Clamp Lock Knob and insert the Swing Arm Post and Rail Assembly. Position the height of
Shooting Rail Assembly such that the Rear Fork is a little below shoulder level and tighten the Clamp Knob
Check that the Swing-Arm Post is rmly clamped before use. Do not adjust the post too
high so that it is only partially secured by the clamp.
Do not adjust height with weapon resting in forks
3. Loosen both Fork Lock Knobs and ip the Front and Rear Forks upright. The height of each Fork can be
adjusted up or down to t the geometry of your weapon. Once positioned to the desired height, tighten the
Fork Lock Knobs to hold Forks in the desired vertical position.
4. Adjust distance between the Forks by disengaging the Rail Extension Locks and sliding the Rails in or out as
needed to t your weapon. Engage the Locks when adjustment is complete.
5. Adjust the position of Rail Assembly within the Rail
Brackets so the weapon’s center of gravity will be placed
over the center swivel. This will help the weapon maintain
balance when placed in the Forks. Photo12
