small shudder of my trigger when trigger goes off

I am having difficulty controlling the small shudder when my trigger goes off.

Sight alignment is good. But when trigger goes off, small alignment shudder is noted. I can't seem to shoot 10's. There are a lot of 9's around the center 10, but not 10's.

Ring of 9's but no 10's. How do I avoid this shudder when pellet goes off?

Howdy, it would help us help you if you tell us:
how much you shot the last 30 days, what your average is, what gun you are using, how long you have been shooting air pistol.

Follow through and smooth trigger press.

The shudder is caused by anticipation of the shot being about to break.

What happens is that you are pausing at the last moment of your trigger press and holding on to tight to keep it in the middle. This is where you see the shudder and then as you help the shot on its way you get that movement.

The way to get around it is to work on a smooth trigger press that continues through to overload once the shot has broken. Continue to focus on your sights and make sure your grip tension has not changed throughout the shot process.

That should straighten out your shuddering.

Good luck.
