My 4 basic rules are;
1. Shoot at the lowest ISO the camera is capable of.
2. Shoot on a tripod.
3. Shoot at a small aperture like f11 or f15.
4. Shoot in RAW and sharpen in post.

I think that in shooting at a really small aperture you may loose sharpness, diffraction may occur. Unless you need extreme depth of field use a mid range aperture, perhaps f8, where most lenses are at their best. Certainly a tripod will help! With my Pentax K 5 and its internal sensor shifting for shake reduction I've had good luck without a tripod, but... certainly can't hurt! I have several images shot with a Sigma f4 10 to 20mm WA which gave excellent 16x20 prints without a tripod. I must wonder what the shots would have been with a tripod! Weight can be a problem. Be gentle in post sharpening. If not used wisely it can give unnatural and "fake" results.

If your photos are not sharp, you are probably using a slow SS. Try a higher SS to see if that helps. That is more important the f number for "not sharp " photos.

Shoot ISO 400 or 800
shoot Aperature priority at f 4
tripods are good if your camera is heavy but way to slow if your shooting running animals
Shoot as fast as iso allows. shoot down light
