A caddy is provided for supporting a weapon such as a rifle, gun, pistol, cross bow, or long bow while hunting. The caddy serves as an adjustable cradle for supporting the weapon while aiming at a target and a safety device for transporting the weapon. The caddy may be mounted to any suitable support structure such as a tree stand, tree, hunting blind, fence, all terrain vehicle, wheelchair, or the like. In a particular embodiment, two or more caddies may be mounted on a tree stand to safely secure a weapon during set up in a tree. Each caddy may contain a safety device, such as a detachable rubber strap, for securing a weapon. When the safety device is removed, each caddy may be used as a cradle to support a weapon while aiming at a target, and the cradle may be adjusted horizontally, vertically, and/or pivotally.

What is claimed is: 1. A caddy for supporting a weapon, the caddy comprising: a mounting bracket structured and arranged for mounting on a support structure; a base member slidably mounted on the mounting bracket; a coupling between the mounting bracket and the base member which permits both sliding and rotating movement between the mounting bracket and base member at a single point of connection between the mounting bracket and base member, wherein the base member slides and rotates in a substantially horizontal plane; and a cradle member slidably mounted on the base member and structured and arranged for supporting the weapon. 2. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the coupling comprises a bolt extending through the mounting bracket and a slot in the base member in which the bolt is slidable, wherein the base member is pivotable around the bolt. 3. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the cradle member is slidable in a substantially vertical direction when the mounting bracket is mounted on the support structure. 4. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the cradle member contains a hollow section that slides over a substantially vertical section of the base member and allows the cradle member to telescope on the substantially vertical section of the base member. 5. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the cradle member is generally U-shaped. 6. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the cradle member comprises an elastic liner. 7. The caddy of claim 1, further comprising a strap on the cradle member for securing the weapon. 8. The caddy of claim 7, wherein the strap is detachable. 9. The caddy of claim 7, wherein the strap comprises an elastic material. 10. The caddy of claim 7, wherein the strap comprises holes for receiving pegs extending from the cradle member. 11. The caddy of claim 1, further comprising a mechanical fastener for mounting the mounting bracket onto the support structure. 12. The caddy of claim 1, wherein the support structure comprises a tree stand. 13. A hunting apparatus comprising: a support structure; and at least two caddies for supporting a weapon mounted on the support structure, wherein at least one of the caddies comprises: a mounting bracket structured and arranged for mounting on a support structure; a base member slidably mounted on the mounting bracket; a coupling between the mounting bracket and the base member which permits both sliding and rotating movement between the mounting bracket and base member at a single point of connection between the mounting bracket and the base member, wherein the base member slides and rotates in a substantially horizontal plane; and a cradle member slidably mounted on the base member and structured and arranged for supporting the weapon. 14. The hunting apparatus of claim 13, wherein the support structure comprises a tree stand. 15. The hunting apparatus of claim 14, further comprising a mechanical fastener for mounting the mounting bracket onto the support structure. 16. The hunting apparatus of claim 15, wherein the mechanical fastener comprises a bolt extending through a hole in the mounting bracket and a nut threaded on the bolt. 17. The hunting apparatus of claim 13, wherein the mounting bracket is welded on the support structure. 18. The hunting apparatus of claim 13, wherein the mounting bracket is rotatably mounted on the support structure. 19. The hunting apparatus of claim 13, further comprising an elastic strap on the cradle member for securing the weapon. 20. A caddy for supporting a weapon, the caddy comprising: a mounting bracket structured and arranged for mounting on a support structure; a base member slidably mounted on the mounting bracket; a coupling between the mounting bracket and the base member which permits both sliding and rotating movement between the mounting bracket and base member at a single point of connection between the mounting bracket and base member, wherein the base member slides and rotates in a substantially horizontal plane, the coupling comprises a bolt extending through the mounting bracket and a slot in the base member in which the bolt is slidable, and the base member is pivotable around the bolt; and a cradle member mounted on the base member and structured and arranged for supporting the weapon. 21. A hunting apparatus comprising: a support structure; and at least two caddies for supporting a weapon mounted on the support structure, wherein at least one of the caddies comprises: a mounting bracket welded on the support structure; a base member slidably mounted on the mounting bracket; a coupling between the mounting bracket and the base member which permits both sliding and rotating movement between the mounting bracket and base member at a single point of connection between the mounting bracket and the base member, wherein the base member slides and rotates in a substantially horizontal plane; and a cradle member mounted on the base member and structured and arranged for supporting the weapon.
