desperado Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I have a HW 35 too and I have thought about getting a bipod to help with steadiness. I see yours is one that fixes to the barrel - whereabouts and what price? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naddan28 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 sorry guys, just from reading Total Airguns, etc and it along with PW members stated can't use bipods on springers. Something to do with the POI jumping due to the recoil. Obviously still effective though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Ben I think its due to the recoil and the fact the pellet will still be travelling down the barrel at the time of the recoil causing irratic grouping.

Well it groups nice and tight on a 1.5" target. Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
