Since you’re at it Trevor, try few more options.
Joe has already mentioned in his post about AI SERVO. Set your camera to AI SERVO mode and preset your focusing points. You can save your focusing points as your custom function (CF). AI SERVO mode won’t give you any focus confirmation as beep or light as it’ll focus continuously and lock just before you press the shutter for capture. Shooting with AI SERVO mode needs some practice. AI SERVO mode also eats up battery faster than normal shooting. So keep spare batteries handy.

If you have any so called protective filter on your lens, remove that and try out. Chances are that you’ll get better/sharper shot. Longer focal length lenses don’t like regular filters. I can’t give a scientific reason for it but that’s what I’ve noticed.
