Most of them were either perfect broadside shots or frontal shots. I do use a bi-pod when calling and use it with several other guns as well and they all shoot just the same with it as they do without. Do you think that with the stock being this way and using the bi-pod is affecting the accuracy enought to miss all the coyotes I have shot at?
Personally I have to say YES based on the experience I had with my rifle. At 100 yards w/bipod it was ~4" group on that particular day. I took the bipod off and they shrunk to less than one inch. Just last week I shot it off the portable shooting table and the group was just over an inch.
Combine that with a little coyote fever and I can easily see a miss from 75 to 250 yards.
Try shooting some coyotes with out the bipod, just use sticks stuck just ahead of the magazine and see if you don't have better luck.
Good hunting.
