RE: target issue
See if there is an after market triggers for that gun (timney, etc.) , if their is, it' s worth the money. Second, get away from those shoulder kicking 180' s and go with 140' s or 150' s. Third, when you shoot, eliminate as much human error as possible, make sure you have a good rest and that your using your stock to rest the gun and not the barrel. The barrel shouldn' t be touching anything. Practice dry firing. If you can' t afford to shoot alot, dry firing is inexpensive and lets you practice your technique.
If you think your dodging the stock when you shoot, do some dry fire practice but after every dry fire, give the gun to a friend and without watching him, have them put a live round in it every once in a while. If your jerking because of recoil, it will happen on the dry fire if you don' t know if it' s loaded. Remember saftey here as always, and the gun is always loaded and should be treated as such.
Last, just practice all you can. I bought an economical reloader so I could shoot more and be a better shot. It' s worth the money if you can do it. Good luck to you.
