Review:
I was extremely disappointed with my Quantum after 5 minutes of use, so I went back to the simple VL 200, but with a cocker you really need an agitated hopper, so after reading some reviews I decided to give this a shot. Because my marker is not vert feed :( I unfortunately take a lot of hopper hits without even knowing its visible...very annoying. When I got this I did some tests by pouring a pod and feeding into another pod, I noticed it was pretty quick, although it did skip a few and slow down with few balls in the hopper, but other than that it fed great. I was further impressed with my first field use. It fed great and I never outshot it (tho I only shoot about 10 bps) and I didn't chop any balls. I can recall about 4-5 bounces of the hopper, I was extremely pleased because I could stay in the game a bit longer. I've learned to defend my hopper better now, but it still looks great.
Conclusion:
I am very pleased with this hopper and for it's price it really does its job. It's not too expensive so give it a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
