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.

The Springbok is not a precision shooting tool—and it’s not intended to be sold as one. Its purpose is to give you more stability than freehand shooting while keeping weight to a minimum and allowing for quick position changes. For example, Paul at FHF took his elk last year at around 450 yards using the Springbok. Personally, I’ve shot consistently accurate groups at 400 yards, and my 17-year-old dropped a deer at 200 yards without issue. That said, when people ask me about it, I’m upfront: it’s excellent for hunting dogs and reliable for shots out to a few hundred yards, but that’s its sweet spot. Every shooting support comes with trade-offs. You have to balance size, weight, stability, and versatility against the environment you’re hunting in. Sure, there are products that might be more stable—but do they weigh more, pack easily, allow faster position changes, or offer full 360° rotation? There’s never a perfect fit; it’s always about choosing the right tool for the situation. It's the number one seller at Spartan now, reviews are good, but know what it is and don't expect it to be more than it's intended use.

I’m not trying to spark any arguments. I just want something that allows quick deployment, an accurate shot, and not unnecessarily heavy

Muzzle drop doesn’t happen. 223 tikka. I saw the paint fly off at 200yds on the first shot. The next two were just off the left edge due to rushing

That doesn’t look to bad. I see what people are saying about the legs being a little wobbly bride of the flexible leg attachments but it doesn’t look terrible. I bet that’s definitely reasonable out to 400 yards while still leaving my regular legs on my javelin bipod if a prone shot presents itself. I don’t typically use trekking poles.

I was in a situation 2 years in a row where my bipod wasn’t ideal/ usable due to brush being tall, so I wasn’t able to go prone.

I don’t have the Springbok, but I do like the Spartan bipod I have.
