Having done target shooting as a sport in the past, I know the importance of "squeezing" off a shot as opposed to the jerking at it.

I take mainly sports shots and tend to jerk my shots in order to capture the exact momment. I lose a fair number of shots because of my jerk.

Would IS help me ??

Hello i dont think IS will help with that if you shoot sports you need a faster shutterspeed like say above 1/800 you can still get good shots with 1/500 but your subject is going to have motion blur.I hope i helped.Sean .L:D

What length you shooting ? what shutter speed are you usually aiming for -

IS usually cant hurt but if over 1/1000 maybe it be no benifit.
