| Primus Pilus | Post; C-7- How do I stop shaking when I'm trying to shoot stuff?Everytime I go out on the rifle range I shake like a leaf when in any position other than the prone position. It seems like my arms aren't long enough to hold it properly or something. I try doing all the breathing exercises but they don't seem to help. Any advice??

| Centurion | You can't be that small. Maybe you are just freaking out or something. Have you ever had someone come and look at how you are holding the rifle? Maybe you are holding it wrong.... |

 No offence to OCDTSmith, but she is kinda small. She's actually here on course with me, and she's told me about this little 'issue' and I haven't been able to figure it out either. Chances are, RnderSafe should be able to tell you. It'd be a good idea to ask him.

| Primus Pilus | We use the C-7. I almost failed my shooting test. You need a 15 to pass and I had 16. I'd really like to do better but I don't get the chance to practice all that much. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Yes, yes, yes... Do bicep and shoulder exercises. And loosen your grip on the rifle(if it's tight). And I find that being shorter is actually better for shooting. Long, lanky arms are harder to control than shorter arms. |
