New Springbok bipod feedback wanted?

Well then, there you have it. Formi says it sucks. I guess all the deer I’ve shot in the last two years (I do culling too), all the practice I’ve done on steel, all the groundhogs I’ve killed were a waste.
I started hunting with a home made set of “bi-fur-pods” which are just cross sticks with nails in the ends. The springbok is better in every way.
My only complaint is on steeply angled terrain, the attachment works against you getting the reticle level.

You read the thread and what I wrote doesn’t happen with the Springbok?

I have one of the Spartan Javelin bipods with the long legs set up for sitting height that rides on the side of my backpack. I think it’s a much better option than the Springbok. Having a springy, flexible bipod head is not particularly conducive to shooting quickly and accurately. The Javelin is a much better solution for this. The only downside of it is the cost of the extended legs, but the benefits are worth the cost to me. It’s way faster for me to set up than a tripod or hiking sticks. It gets you above the vegetation, facilitates shooting quickly on steep slopes, and if you use your backpack for a rear rest, it’s pretty damned stable.
