zini 1,939 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Recoil from a spring piston rifle needs to go backwards at the shoulder and slightly up at the muzzle mate due to a process called JUMP. JUMP is the difference from the barrel being at the angle when the scope is elevated to the correct elevation to hit the target and where the pellet actually exits at the ANGLE of DEPARTURE which is a higher elevation than you would of aimed yourself. JUMP is taken out when you zero and keep a constant firing position when shooting a springer and the reason why you need a constant hold when shooting a springer or your shots go everywhere. If you fit a bipod the rifle cannot correctly go through this process. You will be able to zero with the rifle with the bipod fitted but once you try a shot from a different position without the bipod you will find that you pellet usually lands low and left if you are right handed as when you zeroed with the bipod fitted you were taking out the huge JUMP caused by the unusual firing harmonics. Best just use a shooting cushion and your palm buddy. Keep a constant light hold and your groups will be tight and the pellet will land where it is supposed to do. Si. 1 Quote Link to post
