That's how you shoot standing. Nobody is holding center up. You have to time that wobble and try to keep said wobble consistent. Don't feel inadequate having to shoot with a wobble.I had Fun at this match, but I'm disappointed that my wobble area was so large. When I managed to get tens and nines, it wasn't because I was holding the rifle that steady but, rather, I got good hits because my shot broke while the crosshairs happened to be swinging near the middle of the aiming black.
On all of these targets, within seconds before I fired the shot, my crosshairs were drifting around what was probably 4 inch diameter circle. Trigger Control is what let me break most of them over the eight or nine rings but when I didn't have trigger control in my shot fired while the crosshairs were around the outside edge of my wobble area that's where I got some 7's (in the white).
I'm confident that having a good crisp and light trigger on my rifle helped a lot. I've tried offhand shooting at small targets using standard factory plinker grade 22 rifles and it doesn't work so well. Because those other guns have triggers that weigh 4 to 6 pounds and have a lot of grit and movement/travel in them.
It's working extremely well for you. No need to change a thing.That "chicken wing" thing you speak of was the standard way to hold a rifle for about the last 300 years, and only in the last 20 has it fallen out of favor among the people that shoot rimfires and AR 15s with no recoil. They usually perch the toe of the stock up on their collarbone not deep in the shoulder pocket. So having your right arm angle downward helps you position the gun up high like that.
I like the right arm position as used by master champion David Tubb all through the 1980s, 1990s, and mid 2000s.
