Hi guys , ive been shooting for 2-3 months now and have slowly begun to get a lot better/accurate, however i recently felt i am confident/safe enough to hunt live vermin.

Like i said i can hit half inch groups quite consistantly at 30 and 40 yds, which for a novice im quite proud of.

So ive been hunting 3 times now and i enjoy the stalking/waiting element, but when a live target gets in my sights it all goes pear shaped!!!, and i mean pear shaped!. I start to panic and rush my shot for fear of losing my long awaited target. I missed several "easy targets" although luckily i missed them completely and did not cause any suffering which is important to me.

So do you guys have any tips for me???

any procedures for breathing etc??

any help to stop me shooting like a guarilla having a spasm would be much appreciated

cheers
jonathan
