All good advice from A5.
It sounds like you are already a good shot offhand. The guys who do this really well are Olympic offhand shooters. 'Trust your wobble' as the old saying goes. You won't be able to keep the gun still so don't fight it, accept it, establish a predictable up/down movement as you breathe and coincide the break when the crosshairs cross the POA. You have more control as the gun comes down than going up so if you can start your shot sequence above the target let gravity help you guide the reticle over the POA.
Don't hold the gun in position for too long. If it doesn't work and you have time then bring the gun down and rest, and start the sequence again.
This is a good summary of standing unsupported shooting, especially the photos;
