Bipods for coyote rifle
« on: September 23, 2011, 04:44:10 AM »
Any recommendations for a good bipod?  I'm thinking that having it with a yoke rather than attached to rifle so I can use with our guns.  The one that allows you to raise or lower with one hand seems to be a good choice.
 
I think most of my coyote hunting here in Ohio will be sitting with my back at a tree.
 
Any suggestions?

I like the 27 inch Hairrs by-pods. When sitting on the ground they are just right.

Would this be like a mono-pod or shooting stick?....I think that it could work well but they are expensive for what they are. Many like the Shooting Sticks "X" which are very portable and set up quickly. Best part is that you can make em yourself.

An excellent position as you can get the elbows up on the knee's for some rock solid crosshairs. As a right hander, I like to "cant" myself somewhat right of center to cover right field. The reason for this as you know is that a right hander can swing the barrel little to none in that direction (while sitting) but you can swing the barrel almost behind you to the left.
 
Dont overlook the prone position. It can work very well in sparse brush or weeds for when you want to cut the distance of a wide expanse which the yotes are sometimes reluctant to cross.

I did not like firearm mounted supports for field hunting, so mostly made my own sticks for their versatiltity and ease of use.   From simple sticks like arrowwood at first, from wood dowels, fiberglass or aluminum tubes later, and shock corded folding sticks after that.   I did evetually buy some made by others, the best of them those made by Vern Howey IMO.   They come at a high price if you can even find them anymore, but are worth every penny of it.   I'v always kept an extra set of his on hand in case I lost or damaged the one I used.   Never did need it despite years of constant use... they are well made. 
Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

I have two bi-pods that mount on the front sling stud.  I have the taller ones that allow me to shoot from a sitting position.  If I am setting up and going to stay at the location I use them.  If I am walking and moving around I use shooting sticks.
