RE: Tips to improve your steadiness..
Pretty generic but it works for me with rifles. breathe out, alllll the way out slowly.
I know from experience also that Caffiene (even when you're not on buzz or "feel" anything) will make a difference.
Nicotine too. With caffeine the idea is to get it out of your system, with nicotine it needs to be "just right". Obviously its best to just get it out of your system too.
