Well, during shooting, between the 10 shot strings, or whenever i fell fatique, I prefer to relax partly (sitting down and resting on the chair behind the firing line), or better relax completely by lying down. The latter on my sofa in front of the Telly.

Good, relaxed shoot´n

Your feet may be too close together and you may be facing the target too much. Try to stand about 45 degrees to the target. Raise your pistol to the target, close your eyes for a moment, then open them and see if you are still pointed in the same place. If not, adjust your feet so that your 'natural point' is consistent.

Arm sway is usually a strength issue, but it can also be a nerve and blood flow condition. I have had 'surprising' improvement in my ability to hold steady after chiropractic or acupuncture treatments. I cannot emphasize enough how much of an improvement, it's so good it should be illegal. ;-)

When I'm dialed, the only part of me that is not relaxed is my shooting arm and hand.

Is being 'dialed' the same as being 'zoned'?

No, dialed is being properly aligned with the target and relaxed, being in total control of the task at hand. Being zoned is that place where an hour is 5 minutes and you involuntarily place shots into the center area of the target.
