I am sort of assuming this is standing with air rifle.

If this is in the last tenth of a second before you release the shot, I would suspect you are pushing your right shoulder into the rifle.

Also, are you checking your natural point of aim as you settle into each shot?

Hi
It could also be your trigger position is slightly too far forward and you are inducing movement to the left as you activate the trigger.

Cheers Martin

Could be your follow thru is not as perfect as you may think it is, slow down, relax more , like you are dry firing it.
Keep your eyes open before , during, after, see the entire shot happen , then you can diagnose your own problem if there are any.
Another possible situation is your hold position on the grip, work with this so it is perfect.
