Bushhawk is made by Ocean Instruments http://www.oceaninstruments.com and
they have a new web site for the shoulder stock that is still under
construction http://www.bushhawk.com . These are sold by Porters and are
frequently advertised in Outdoor Photography. There is an interesting site
on tripods for birding at http://www.optics4birding.com/optics/tripod.htm .
They also mention the fact that one doesn't want to portray the rifle image
in some places. Leonard Rue http://www.rue.com also makes shoulder supports
but theirs are about twice as expensive as the Bushhawk ($140 vs $70). If
you can't find a picture I would be glad to send you one. I feel the
optimum usage of these is up to about 300mm but have used them at 2000mm
laying over a rock with reasonable success.
