I am very finicky when im aiming. i am not steady in the least bit. is there anyway to help make me more steady?

rest your left elbow [if your right handed] on a stationary object. you can also lean the left side of your body against a tree or solid object. do the opposite if you left handed

PapaD

yes, but even when doing that im not very steady. im mainly talking about just straight up standing and shooting though. not leaning.

when standing up and shooting i dont know if there can be anything done to help steady yourself. when shooting a bow, i know that the heavier the bow is [within reason] the steadier i can hold the bow. ex. when i put a stablizer on my bow i could hold it a little steadier. maybe someone else can help.

If you are hunting out of a stand try a paded rail to rest your gun on.
Or if you have the room buy a porta bench that varmit hunters use and mount it in your stand

Learn how to use a tight sling. Don't fall for the hasty sling. When you've mastered it I'll tell you how to make a "Ching" sling.

ive taken alot of shots offhand, and i usually only use it when i have to make the shot quick or i absolute have to because of low vegatation. Try and take a knee if possible, or lean your arm against a tree. keep the gun tight to your shoulder. try to calm your breathing. In a stand, get a padded rail or a Level Lok. I can't imagine using shooting sticks for deer, as i think they would just take up too much space in the day pack.alot of times in spots where i could actually use them, i just try and lie prone. shooting prone is by far the deadliest position when you're shooting at a deer.

ive heard there is some kind of pill that steadys you. maybe not.

YOU NEED A SHOOTING STICK..CUT DOWN A SAPLING THAT HAS A Y IN IT. MAKE IT TO THE HEIGHT YOU NEED FOR STANDING KNEELING OR SITTING.

AS FOR THE PILL THING HOPE YOUR JOKING.........MAYBE TRY A BI-POD?

try to make sure your not grabbing the bow. let the handle rest in your hand
