"Marine Corps Fundamentals of Rifle Marksmanship" There are both print manuals and video instruction available online. Read and heed the instruction. Take a steady disciplined approach to shooting and you will get better quickly. The finest marksmen in the world, Marine Snipers, start off with the same fundamentals as any Marine Rifleman.

If you just want good quick advice, then follow this guidance once you settle in behind the weapon:

BRASS Breathe, Relax, Aim, Sight, Squeeze

Use the meaty portion of tip end of your trigger finger. Never the very tip and never, ever the joint. Will your body into submission. Make it be still. When the round goes down-range, it should come as a surprise to you. Target #1 - it appears you are pulling the weapon as you fire. This may be (likely) causing the low and to the right shot group. Try to find the "sweet spot" in your shoulder joint to "lock" the buttstock into. Use your non-shooting hand to steady the stock once you have settled into the shoulder joint. Resist pulling the weapon back with your firing hand on the pistol grip. As you are using a bipod, you can push forward into the stock using your boot tips, thus creating a push/pull action and "quieting down" your body and the weapon.

No doubt there are others on the forum who may have better advice and more experience, but this should at least point you in the right direction. Enjoy!
