I have found that careful layout & marking – on both faces of the board – help me, as does practice. I will also look at my tail cuts and test them with a square, then trim the tails a bit if required to square them up before I mark for the pins. It gets better with practice, and the sawing accuracy helps with other operations too – e.g. tenons.
I haven’t tried any of the various jigs out there. I suspect that positioning the jig might introduce some errors as well.
