Turn the power on your scope down....caffeine etc...bad news...relax your death grip on the stock (wrist hand)...do not use your other hand to support the rifle in anyway....(If your only shooting from a hunting position then this point is mute)..Dis regard all the "shooters" you see on TV who hold down their rifle by placing a hand on top of the scope (or anywhere else).
If you can, ( It is hard to overcome the urge to snuggle up to the recoil pad) pull your shoulder off the rifle, let it free recoil (Good bags and front rest will do wonders, most rifles will not jump out of the bags, practice (dry fire..LOTS), only place your trigger finger on the trigger un wrap your thumb from the wrist of the rifle (squeeze) Some shooters only have their thumb and trigger finger on the rifle ..turn down your scope...then as you begin gaining confidence....turn the power up a bit at a time...Most casual shooters only need 10X or less...better still 6x or less....at least for big game.
Heart beat can be a killer...but with time and practice it will become less of a concern.
