[QUOTE="dirtrider73068, post: 3254021, member: 44606"] Ok a little update, out of curiosity after being worn out from work and waking up sick at 6 am fri and doing nothing but laying around watching tv yesterday. I haven't really had a chance to practice holding steady. I did try something yesterday I looked up the specs on the marlin model 60 and even being just a basic 22 total weight is 5 pounds. My step daughter has winchester model 150 .22 and to me feels lighter so I held it aimed it and feel like I can hold it steady better than mine. So I think weight is playing a part of it, so I guess I just need to get use to holding a 5 pound rifle in front of me. Maybe today it won't be so hot and I can go out and see what I can do with it, try seeing where and how I can hold to get more steady, if not well guess will either deal with it or try in that video draw up to aim then fire. I do wish I was built bigger and stronger but never the time nor energy to want to work out, I may even see if I can build something I can rest the rifle on and then let it rest on my hip see if that helps or makes it worse, I could be too not steady on my feet, I know at times trying to stand straight and still is hard for so my balance so to say could be off, if thats the case my tinnitus could be throwing off my balance. If anybody here is young, take a lesson from my younger stupid self you MUST wear hearing protection and do not listen to music either car or headphones blasting away you pay for later in a bad way.
