In my case, I don't know if it's better form, but more consistent form. Springers continue to be a conundrum for me. I want to love them for the reasons centershot stated, and my hats off to him for the fine work he does with his Beeman. I picked up a Weihrauch HW50S last year to try to emulate his success, and I can shoot nice groups with it. However when I take it, or my other springers, in the field I fail miserably mainly because my shooting positions are not consistent. So for hunting I mainly rely on "The Beast", my .25 Marauder, because the POA/POI doesn't change whether I'm shooting prone, offhand or using a handy tree to rest against. I haven't given up on the springers just yet though, maybe someday I'll get good enough.
