Gun shaking when I shoot?

See your physician for a medical exam. There are some nerve diseases that have those symptoms. If your doctor finds nothing then i suggest exercises to strengthen your hands and arms and then lots of practice with your handguns. Including several sets of snap caps so you can get used to the trigger tension and hammer drop.

Also, as we age, it gets more critical that you BREATHE. I know it seems stupid, but our lung capacity reduces over time, as well as our ability to exchange gases in the alveoli. What this translates to is less time between when you start to hold your breath, and you get the shakes.

Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, hold, let half out, sight, shoot.

The only solution is practice.

I have a neuropathy in both hands and shooting in the old fashioned off hand way is no longer working for me.

I have found that it is possible to get around this by using a modern two handed combat grip and stance. You need a coach, and you need to forget what you learned previously.

How old are you? There's a big difference in what our answers will be if you're 14 versus if you're 80.

Given that the rest of your questions and answers are about Minecraft and Xbox games, I'm going to guess that you're under 25 years old.

If that's the case, you need to practice more. You may even need to lift a few weights.

But you do know that your gun is never going to be perfectly stable, right? Part of shooting is getting into a rhythm, and squeezing the trigger when the sights line themselves up.

Oh, and just so you know, when I qualified for my concealed carry permit, my blood sugar was low. My hands were shaking, my arms were a little weak… And I still hit paper every time and only missed the silhouette twice- heck, one of those two misses would have grazed the attacker. That was at ranges from about 3 yards out to about 20 yards… And some of that was with the lights off.

So the gun shaking doesn't mean it's the end of your shooting career. You just need to learn to shoot when you have a clear sighting picture.

Do you hands shake otherwise, like when you're not at the range? Is it just nerves or a bit of adrenaline that's causing you to shake? I've been shooting for years, but even now when I go out, I have that nervous energy / feeling of excitement doing something I love that makes me need to stop for a few seconds and take some deep breaths and settle down before I start.

Yeah… Try manning up and learning how to shoot a pistol… And how is this close to a hunting question?
