Default Crossbow Rest

Has anyone ever made a adjustable shooting rest for a crossbow?
I have a couple friends that shoot crossbow and they have a hard time holding the crossbow up and being steady I was wondering if anyone has plans on how to make a rest that would stick in the ground and be somewhat adjustablee?

Thanks

I have. This is just a common crutch modified to a cane/rest. Works great in a ground blind.

The notch is for my Excals rails, there's screw in the ends of the wood piece. And, for you carpenters, yes, I know the hill-billy that hung that door should have scored the veneer w/ a razor knife before cutting the bottom off, lol.

I ordered a rifle bi-pod that I plan on modifying for my Pheonix. I am not a good free hand shooter of anything. I really like the crutch Idea. I will let you know if the Bipod works or not

I Mickey moused a couple of kids crutches per Dan's suggestion months ago. I just leave them in my ground blinds and if they get stolen so what. I can always grab a pair from another kid. They can't run very fast once you have the crutches.
I also bought the knee pod from Horton. Just to bulky to carry around so it sits on a shelf.
