Herein disclosed is a stand that supports a targeting apparatus for targeting an object and conceals a user of the targeting apparatus from the targeted object. An elongated member has a first end that contacts a ground surface and a second end opposite the first end that has a targeting apparatus rest. A shielding screen is mounted on the elongated member. The shielding screen has an opening through which the user can view the targeted object. The opening is positioned such that a line of sight from the targeting apparatus extends through the opening while the targeting apparatus is placed on the targeting apparatus rest. In some embodiments, the shielding screen is collapsible for easy transport to a desired location for targeting activities and the shield can be deployed once at the desired location.
