This is perhaps a more effective way to improve your tracking ability along with your aiming skills. I find that fast twitch gaming involves dexterity along with muscle memory in performing advanced techniques such as bunny hopping - that requires precision timing for full effectiveness. This skill can be trained over time with repetition. However, I find that precision aiming, on the other hand, takes much longer to master and a lot of time, providing incremental results.
A while ago while trying to find a way to improve the speed and effectiveness with which I read, I stumbled upon a neat little program that helps you do just that. I hope I don't come off as a peddler in this thread, my intention is to help, anyway the program is called eyeQ, and I'm sure you can 'get it', what it does is it exercises your eye muscles, making them more adept to tracking...really fast!
It's interesting really, because when we read, we do so in chunks, not actually reading each letter, but recognizing entire words. The program I mentioned starts you off, not by reading words, but trains you to pick up images, and it gets faster and faster, training your eye muscles' ability to pick up objects faster and faster, and not just horizontally but vertically and diagonally - that's why I found it so beneficial to my gaming skills. When you first use the program, you're eyes will actually get a workout, and they may even hurt a little kinda like when you work out at a gym. It even tells you to take a full days rest in between sessions.
Over time, maybe a couple of weeks or so, what you'll find is that your eyes will move a lot quicker, and you'll be able to pick up stuff on screen faster, enabling you to react better. For me, my eyes became quick enough that gaming at 60 FPS started to look choppy, so I ended up switching to 120 FPS with V-Sync so that the game would look smoother. I had to decrease my monitor's resolution, but I can say that it definitely makes a difference!
