    Hi Joe,

    Practice is good but you need to practice good technique.
    Mimms is right - it starts with the feet and whatever part of you is on the ground.
    Technique and specially position do vary depending on how long your arms legs and stuff are but there are fundamental principles.
    I've outlined them in as rough and ready sort of way here on an old forum post.

    I'd start by shooting on paper where you can see your misses. Steel gives little learning - its for fun and competition. Also, on paper you will be able to adjust your zero and know your trajectory, two things that are often left to guesswork by plinkers.

    Rabbit shooting is very demanding of accurate shooting technique. A rabbit at 50m is equivalent to a chamois at 300m. No mean feat.
