Shakey when shooting crossbow
#11
The floating pin mentioned above is a large step in improving your accuracy, focusing on holding your cross hairs on target I think inadvertently causes you to tense up and make things worse. arms get tired and all. One trick I learned with a poorly balanced crossbow is to hold it like R. Lee Ermey holds a long rifle, kinda hard to describe and I cant find a picture, but your support arm is the one that changes instead of holding your finger tips away from your shoulder, you fold your hand back to your shoulder and let your wrist support the weight and tuck your elbow in to aid in supporting the weight, Its not comfortable at first, but after a little practice Your offhand shots will improve. I'm certain there is a name for this, somebody will most likely chime in with it and maybe a pic.

Try using a shooting stick or better a steady Eddy http://www.tenpointcrossbows.com/sho...Monopod+System

If you are going to change bows anyway, I"d suggest you take a long look into a reverse draw type bow. Unlike the T type bow designs the reverse draw bows have the balance between the hands, this is far easier to hold steady.
But even the reverse draw types need practice to shoot really well from free hand standing position. LIke others have said, a Steady Eddie, or mono pod/bi-pod is real help if the reverse draw does not do it for you.
