Lotsa trigger time.

Try shooting a flintlock rifle, off your hind legs, this will bring any bad habits you have into larger than life proportions. 50-75 yds, patched round ball, keeping all your shots in a 6"-7" bull will indicate that you've exercised your demons.(it's the lock time that shows your flaws)

Once you've got your bad habits under control, throw a 10-20x scope on a good .22 rimfire and get after those chickens(40m), pigs(60m), turkeys(77m), and rams(100m) off your hind legs, then for kicks and giggles run those chickens out to 100m, and let fly from your hind legs yet again. When your averaging 60%-70% on the 1/5 scale shillouettes. It's time for you to move to your large bore centerfire "bolt gun."

Start by shooting your "bolt gun" at 8" paper plates at 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, and 500m(or use a 8" steel gong.) Off your hind legs, kneeling, sitting, bipod, rucksack, fence post, mono pod, what ever, when you can keep 80% of your hits on the 8" target from what ever position, then move to the next distance, when you can no longer pull off 80% hits, consider the next closest distance your max distance from the given situation.
