RE: Offhand shooting techniques
If you don't already have one, go ahead an get a sling, it will really improve your groups, as you can use it to pull your gun against your shoulder to steady it. Other then that, Get a dry fire snap cap (I just got one yesterday to practice dry firing) and simply practice. Put in like 30 minutes a day or so just dry firing in off hand position until you can get fairly steady, its the only way you'll improve over time.
