How can I reduce my wobble?

Try some vertical and horizontal line drills:

Put a card with a vertical line drawn on it, on the wall at the proper height so that you can take your normal stance with the muzzle an inch or so back from the card. Work toward holding the sights horizontally motionless against the line. After a few repetitions, take a break and then move to the horizontal line:

Place the card with the line horizontally and perform the same hold focusing on minimizing the vertical movement. After a few repetitions of this, take another break and then try a large plus sign (or cross) on the wall.

The reason for the distance being so close is to allow you to see both the front sight and the line without losing either. You should hold your focus on the front sight.

Axeman:

Dittos on what Ed said- also, try making a board with 9 targets on it (white or buff background; reduced size o.k. if at proper distance). The drill is to hold (following a pattern; star pattern, diagonal pattern, etc.) for 5-10 seconds on targets in succession. Start with holding for only a couple of seconds on each target in the pattern, then increase the hold duration as your hold improves.

You can also add a dry fire snap at the end of each hold . . . multiple variations to the drill. The point is to improve that initial "enter the hold/settle" phase to allow you to rapidly get inte h right hold area nad settle quickly. Also, holding at points slightly outside your natural point of aim (the theory goes) is a little more difficult, and this will stress your supporting muscles a little differently.

Then there is the old standby of hold against an area for a lo-o-o-o-o-ong time.

Try the drill while standing on a wobble board . . . or while a light weight is suspended (and swaying randomly) off your trigger guard . . . etc.

Come up with your own drills- the point is to figure out exactly what "basic" skill set you are trying to improve and then stress your self against that skill set.
