Oh for Shame...
That shot on the left -
real coyote would have run of into a ditch and required a dispatch next day by a friend and a caterpillar to burry it.
Don't think you can post posts like that and not have people take notes.
One of these years I am going to make the Icebraker.
I know about the rodeo to which you refer, but I believe you're misreading the target here. What looks like a hip hit is probably just the mark made by bullet fragment side scatter hitting the head of a mounting bolt.
Good eye, math! When I shot the group, I could see that splash through the scope, and thought I had one go left and right. Always nice to walk up on a group and see it's better than you thought it was from the rifle.
The noise is about the same as a .22LR rifle.
