Hi just wondering if any one else here suffers with tremors? Had them since I was a young child and wondering if anyone has any aiming tips or styles to combat the scope wobble it causes at 50m+ I can maintain tight groupings up to 50m but 60m and beyond on a breezy day is a flip of a coin when aiming at anything smaller than two inch squared

Thanks in advance

Medicine induced tremors, and they are the bain of my life…

Bipod, rear rest and cursing are my only options. Doesn’t matter so much with the shotguns 😁

I don't suffer from tremors and still can't shoot as good at that mate 😆

Yeah I’m also on Tramadol for slipped disc pain which intensifies the tremors, had them my whole life so I’m used to breathing techniques to control them but at 60m the slightest tremor really affects the flight path…..rear rest might be a good idea for those long range shots, thank you

Gotta love the Tramadol haze
 
I have tremors, mainly when extending my arms so has a huge impact when i shoot air pistols, with rifles i find pulling the gun into my shoulders more helps to stabilise.... failing that a shooting bag and a bench ;-)

Same here, I take one to counteract the effects of 3 others, plus Amlodipine, Propranolol and of course, the very neccessary Tramadol for pain, which doesn't seem to be having any effect today. 😭 .
 
I get reaally bad tremours on the day I change my fentanyl patch, not a damn thing I can do about it either
 
I had a small ti when I was 37 and the shakes and weakness in my left side stopped Airguni g got depressed sold all my stuff now 13 years later I’m just getting back into it, just bought myself a hw 30 and a gamo compact for the garden and the wife and kids got me an hw 97kt for Xmas I’m never going to be good as I was but I will definitely enjoy every trigger pull
