I used to do some target pistol shooting, don't have much time for it now. My mentor told me to do 10 push ups a day for five days a week. That was all it took to remove the shake. Probably need to give it a couple of weeks. I've found that 62 isn't near as much fun as 42 (:-). I am currently fighting IV Nerve Palsy which causes double vision. It's on the mend but it isn't recommended. Good thing is I focus my Ms, LF and my enlargers with one eye.
