My observations:

If you are all over the target, that points out a problem with sight alignment/sight picture. Low and to the left is an issue with 'bucking' (anticipating the shot), high and to the right, jerking the trigger. There is a target out there that has those things marked off on the target, so you can focus on fixing them. I wouldn't put too much stock in YouTube 'sled tests', it takes time and practice to become proficient with a firearm, no amount of 'tacti-cool' stuff is a substitute for time behind the trigger.
None taken but I'm just running and gunning at the in-laws down in a river bed with a huge ravine on the move jumping over stuff. This isn't for competition for now. In the real world targets don't sit still nor do you have a while to set up. I'm just moving, raising up and firing as fast as possible and moving again. I'm happy to even hit the target through trees and branches. The brake will definitely help climb and keep the scope from bouncing though. This Saturday I'll go again with some new targets I bought that I think are like 14" circle. I can try for a 9" ring but again I'm literally just pulling the trigger as fast as possible and staying on target. If it was a bad guy he'd still be out
