Montie Design Releases the AR-Rest Lightweight Portable Shooting Rest







Update to popular
X-Rest a response to viral popularity, feedback from customers


(Morrisville, N.C.) Collaborative product design and development firm
Montie Design has released a much anticipated upgrade to
its popular
X-Rest portable shooting rest, the AR-Rest. The new release features
design enhancements to the original product conceived, designed, and
distributed by Montie Design in the Spring of 2009.


“The response to the initial availability of the X-Rest last year
surpassed our expectations,” Montie Roland, company president, said.
According to Roland, his firm has seen demand for the X-Rest grow
regionally and nationally as product reviews and feature articles on
the product began to find their way into firearm and engineering
industry media outlets.


“It’s been exciting to see the popularity of the X-Rest grow virally,
which has led to a ton of feedback and extremely useful interaction
with customers,” he added.


Roland said that feedback led to the development of the newest version
of the X-Rest, the AR-Rest and AR-Rest LIGHTWEIGHT. Both versions are
lightweight and place the stock of the supported rifle approximately
9.5 inches from the top of the shooting surface, allowing proper
clearance for firearms with high-capacity magazines.


Both the X-Rest and AR-Rest are easy-to-carry, weigh less than two
pounds, and disassemble easily in three pieces for easy transport. Both
versions are made of sturdy yet lightweight aluminum, providing steady
support for a wide-range of semi-automatic and bolt action firearms.


Industry estimates put the number of U.S. firearms industry-related
companies at about 200, producing over $2 billion annually in revenue.
Approximately a half-dozen shooting ranges are located in the Triangle
region of North Carolina, with numerous retailers selling guns and ammo
to hunters and competitive shooters.







The AR-Rest and X-Rest are both produced locally in the Triangle using
local manufacturers.
