Method of using cushion device during hunting

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is a first object of the present invention to provide a gun forearm cushion.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method of reducing noise generation in a shooting house.
One other object is a cushion device that has a foam or resilient material body that has an outer camouflage surface thereon and means to facilitate sliding of the body onto a gun forearm and maintaining the device in place once properly positioned.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as a description thereof proceeds.
In one aspect, the invention is an improvement in hunting methods wherein a gun is disposed on a windowsill in a shooting house.
According to this aspect of the invention, a generally cylindrical cushion device is slid over a gun barrel and the cushion device is positioned on the gun forearm to reduce noise generation from the gun forearm striking the windowsill.
The cushion device comprises a resilient body with camouflage on at least on outer surface thereof, and means for securing the body around the gun forearm.
The securing means, in one mode, further comprises a band of elastic running along a length of the cylindrical cushion device and interconnecting opposing longitudinal ends of the resilient body.
The securing means can also be fasteners, such as hook and loop fasteners connecting the opposing ends of the resilient body.
In another mode, the cushion device can be an expandable sleeve made of a resilient material and a camouflage material surrounding the resilient material.
The camouflage material can be either on the outer surface of the resilient material or be a separate and expandable material surrounding the resilient material.
The invention also entails the combination of a gun and the cushion device, wherein the cushion device is expandable to slide over a barrel of the gun and to be positioned around the gun forearm.
This combination reduces noise generation from the gun forearm striking a supporting surface such as a windowsill in a shooting house
