Welcome to IFG, Sjohn. Shooting is a great sport and pleased to see that you have taken it up.

Re the target, what does the group measure? Usually, 22LR rifles tend to be particular about the ammo they like. If possible, try with different brands and see which one your rifle likes. Did you use a scope?

Get a custom jacket and a sling and see your groups tighten (y)

With what Machoman said and some practice, your groups are going to tighten up. I would still suggest trying different ammo.
