Maybe a hitscan main? Don’t give me general advice like PSA method or 360 stuff. Need specific advice on my bad problem of missing still targets (due to my wrist flicking without me wanting it to yet never flicks when I want to flick). Message me and I’ll send videos on Discord of my sensitivity. Mlar2001#9525.
It’s very hard for people to help with your aim as you are really the only one in control of that but personally I’d say stick to the same sens and eventually you’ll get the muscle memory to know exactly how much to flick and if you really need someone to check it out you could find a discord server with coaches in (which is probably 10x better than anyone from the forums 
)
Ye, I would say dont switch and focus on keeping it the same and practicing. Also start lower… like 800 dpi, and 2 sensitivity in game.
Then work up from that.
Also we need your screen resolution… 1440p needs a higher dpi than 1080p for example.
If I did 2, I wouldn’t be able to turn fast enough and my shoulder would hurt
Are you moving while you shoot? In that case it can be hard to achieve consistency, as you effectively add your movement to your aim. Surefour uses as a solution to press both A and D when shooting, to make sure he is standing still. He presses it so fast in the middle of the fight, that it is barely noticable.
Also, he has a good point he discovered when playing OZU: It is usually not his aim that is failing, it is his timing. He makes the right movement with the cursor, but he clicks too early or too late. That was quite a revelation to me.
Have a look at his video and see if there is something you can use. Btw, I also recommend looking through his library of videos, as he has made other guides on aim.

I’m not a hitscan main, but I can offer my advice.
You really need a decently low sensitivity for hitscan heroes, especially the tracking ones.
When it comes to general aiming, the biggest thing is to not focus on your crosshair. Focus on keeping the target in the middle of your screen, but don’t focus on trying to match up the crosshair with the target. I can’t exactly explain why this works, but it does.
Also, keep your mouse grip firm, but be ready to change direction at a moment’s notice. Try to catch onto patterns in your target’s movement, and learn them as you go. A LOT of people subconsciously move in the same patterns without even realizing it. Strafing targets often alternate between the A and D keys at a rhythm. Jumping targets are easy. Learn their jump arc, and then effortlessly move your mouse along their movement curve.
Aim comes down to muscle memory and reaction timing, but also prediction accuracy. I’m a projectile player so I heavily rely on predicting target movement, but prediction can help you as a hitscan player too.
How would I fix my accidental jerking? Like when I am trying to shoot a still target I always miss because my wrist suddenly flicks.
Sounds like your sens is too high. I would try adjusting my sens if I were you. Try lowering it in small increments, don’t just make a massive adjustment at once.
This is why I bought the deathadder elite from Razer. I bought it mainly to play For Honor, but after fully customizing a profile layout for every game, I realized that it was the best mouse I’ve had so far. You can even adjust the sensitivity by pressing on the top buttons just behind the scroll bar, which makes an entire world of difference. Plus, it’s super comfy to handle.
I have a question.
Why is your wrist involuntarily flicking? Is it caused by a medical condition or what exactly?
If I lower it further then I won’t be able to turn. I can’t turn comfortably until 4.5. My sensitivity is 3.5 now and shaky (it’s my wrist, no matter what sensitivity I use, my wrist will jerk. Even at 1 or 1.5 it’ll probably jerk off the target and miss
try 800dpi and 5 in game … but if you want everything smooth buy 144hz monitor… it really helps (for me) and tracer 
If you have a physical condition, how the hell do you expect us to help you? Go see a doctor.
If it is not a physical condition, then you got all the answers you need here.
There are a ton of guides on how to set your sensitivity. On top of that go watch Surefour’s videos on aim, and you should be very well on your way.
You see, I am not certain why everyone believes this. I understand many people seem to perform better at this sensitivities but this does not mean it is universally true.
I run at 15 sens and 2400 dpi and have decent aim with widow and other hitscans.
The best advice would be to avoid telling people to use some pre-determined sanctioned sens/dpi settings but rather tell them to find what works for THEM.
After all, The op has already said…
Because arm aiming actually does make you more accurate and prevents you from encountering problems later in life, like carpal tunnel. OP is making it seem like he has a preexisting medical condition, but he hasn’t actually elaborated on that at all, so I’m just giving him general tips.
You can play hitscans like McCree, Widow, and Ashe perfectly fine on higher sensitivities. I was mainly talking about the heroes who require tracking. You’re almost always going to be hindering yourself by trying to track targets with a really high sensitivity. It’s not to say that you CANT play them with a high sens, but it’ll be a lot harder to play like that, and you really are putting your wrist at risk.
Yep, I get that. There isn’t one predetermined sensitivity setting that gives you an advantage over any other. However, there’s a threshold. There IS such a thing as having a sens that is “too high”, and one that’s “too low”.

Arm aiming does not prevent carpal tunnel.
Carpal tunnel is created by repeated motion which occurs both in using only your wrist AND when using your entire arm. There is a reason they teach you anti carpal tunnel excercises as a cashier due to the constant repeated motion of scanning with your entire arm.
Arm aim does not 100% make you more accurate though. It depends on the person and their style. You should be encouraging them to find what they are comfortable with. Low sens is not the end all be all. Many pro’s actually use much higher sens as well.
Don’t have any problem tracking with bastion or soldier either.
no more then arm aim. Both have equal risk of carpal as it is not isolated solely to wrist.
Then explain how so many people can play just fine beyond that threshold?
If 800 3.5 feels too fast (except for turning) then 800 5 will be like a seizure. And I already use a 144hz monitor.
