I always shot free standing when out
Personally I always thought bench resting was cheating unless sighting in a scope
But yes stance , breathing and using the old army trick of wrapping the sling around your arm works

im fairly good with free standing shots

There are definite techniques to learn which are difficult to explain.
Start with a solid base feet shoulder width apart, force your leading hip out as far as you can comfortably.
Jam your lead elbow into hip for support.
The most important thing to learn and remember is consistency. Consistency of grip, stance, breathing and trigger control.
All of this is more important with springers.
Age is but a number my friend, practice practice practice.
You could even pick up a rifle whilst watching TV, hold it for count of ten, then raise it like a shotgun and hold for count of ten, then lower like a rat shot and hold again.
Muscles will remember and learn.
Good luck and enjoy.

As dagwood says you may be holding them too tight, for the last few years I've been trying to rest the stock as per the Artillery hold but could hit a match box* at 30 yards more often than I can now at 22 yards with my Meteor, when I knew nothing about the Artillery hold.
* nowadays an equivalent sized block of wood.
Good point Gsxr man I think I shall start weight training with my Airsporter, When Mrs Dornfelderlieber isn't looking.
