hi kanny,[yes] i agree with you.a bypod can make your shooting dependable and lazy,but they do have thier place in air gun hunting.i now only use mine for a zero'in session,i found that if i was out hunting and a rabbit presented itself for a shot, i would go in to auto pilot, [down on the floor]pypod extended out,hft has given me much more confidence .ie,standing,kneelin,unsuported and suported.i think i have improved my shooting by not reliy'n on the bypod,some lads will always use one,so as to insure a perfect head shot,thus clean and humane kill.so thier are pro's and cons to use'in one.
