[QUOTE="jjohnson, post: 11732, member: 2681"] I know some of you have read my post on which rifle I should buy but this is a whole new problem I need to addres before buying anything. I have been practicing with my new heavy barrel 22wmr, getting ready for squirl and cyote season. I get a good shooting position and sight picture but when I am shooting (mostly at 100+yds at x9 power) I can realy see the cross-hairs jump on the target every time my heart beats. when I say it jumps it jumps bad and realy throws me off! I watch my breathing like I was tought but it doesnt help. I was told by a friend that since I am a muscular and have big developed shoulders from years of weight lifting and wrestling that my body make up is not good for long range shooting! Is this a major problem or can it be fixed? If I can't get this under control I am never going to hit anything with a large calibur at long range. I know that I did not notice this at all with any of my old guns, I have shot expert with every weapon system I have ever fired in the military and as a police Officer (All pistols or iron sights on rifels and machine guns). I was brought up on iron sights and shotguns (A good old fashiond American farm boy you could say), the whole scope thing is faily new to me. Is this a common problem for newbies or is it my build like I have been told [/QUOTE]
