Every gamer knows the feeling of missing a headshot by a few pixels. Loosely related to an individual’s muscle memory, aiming in first-person shooter games also depends on other aspects like crosshair settings and game mechanics.

TIP

Most gamers often spend countless hours practicing their aim without even analyzing what’s causing their aim to be inconsistent. Is it your slow reflexes? Perhaps you have trouble tracking the enemies’ movement? There are several other reasons for poor aim in games, and knowing what’s wrong with yours is the first step to improvement.

Instead of finding excuses for missed shots, you should start thinking why you couldn’t hit the enemy. Many FPS games have a death camera that shows a replay of the duel, which is extremely helpful for anyone planning to improve their aim.

Once you know where you’re lacking, you can practice shooting in aim-training apps like Aim Lab for a few minutes each day. But remember that playing the game with real people is much better than spending hours practicing with bots in a training app.
