[QUOTE="Smcooper4615, post: 705608, member: 46786"] Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice. I'm new to this site so forgive me if this isn't posted in the correct place? I have been shooting motorsports over the past year or so and I've slowly gotten better, but I'm still struggling in one area particularly I would like to get some help with.
