Proper shooting form -- standing

[midlife]

Can anyone point me to an online resource on improving accuracy/shooting form for shooting rim fire rifle while standing? I can shoot 1-2 inch groups with a 10/22 at 30 feet with an occasional flyer. But want to keep improving.

The best information will be in book form that you will have to purchase. If I find some links, I'll post them.

Ways of the Rifle 2009

The 1st ed is 2002, i think, 2009 is updated.

That book will have all the info you need on position shooting/smallbore.

Gave me a few things to think about

Here is my best advice for standing if you are having issues with movement that always improved my standing rifle scores.
-If you have a sling, try using a hasty or loop sling for a better base. I have used a canteen on my hip as a resting point for my elbow as well.
-If you are flexible enough, reversing your forward hand under the rifle with it bent back towards your elbow with your palm up.
-Try and ease your sway into a figure eight crossing at your aim point without stressing your natural point of aim.
-If all else fails, and it is safe to do so where you are shooting, aim a few feet above the target and slowly bring the sights down on the target as you breathe out. You will have a good second or two before you start to sway again.
-Don't take the shot if it does not feel right.

Hopefully someone else can point you in a better direction, but figured I would toss out some quick pointers that helped me.

Sign up for an Appleseed shoot in your area. Great program, and even well seasoned shooters re-learn forgotten lessons.

+1 on Appleseed. I definitely had a good time and improved my shooting significantly.
