I get hop. That is upon firing the rifle the recoil action is driving the rifle back as expected, and the muzzle also rises and moves right- hops right.
The flat skids the Joypod comes with does nothing to help with hop. The narrow feet of the Phoenix bi-pod, if used with carpet that allows a groove to be formed,
if used on top of something shorter than shag carpet but taller than commercial flat carpet, the carpet allows the feet to create a groove or track when rearward recoil force is applied. The result is that the rifle is less likely to hop, it tends to stay in the groove. And baby I always want to be in the groove
