Desal asked good questions.
I'm assuming a mistake 90% of shooters make, is they pull the trigger Hollywood style, with the middle 1/3rd of their trigger finger. If you're not pulling directly back with the point of the index finger you're wrong. Without a gun make your hand as if you're holding one, and "pull" the trigger. You'll see your finger pulls right as it's pulled back. This will throw off the shooting to the right, if your father's gun has a heavier trigger pull it will affect it much more than yours which would explain the difference.
Another factor is definately stress. Adrenaline helps people in the short run, but after a full day, or a few weeks of stress the Adrenaline wears the body down. Muscles become worn, which leads to fatigue and more natural sway. Hand-eye coordination become worse, and heartrate remains high. All of these will lead to poorer quality shooting unless you are really good, or trained, at how to prevent it from affecting your shooting.
