Thats the general consensus I have never used one on a springer, but it IS possible to get a good zero with a pod
If however you do use a pod with a springer to zero, then the gun will have a completely different Point Of Impact when shooting freehand
So the last word on that, is if you use a pod to zero, then you should use a pod to shoot with, if you shoot freehand, then you should zero with it freehand.
