Is this common
I went to practice for the first time with a compound today,its a bear whitetail II(i know there is better out there but this is just my beginners bow)heres the thing i would put the pins on the target and every time i hit the release i would flinch and close my eyes,is this common or is it something that will go away in time or what can i do to fix it,i was shooting 15 yds and managed to keep the arrows on the target and only missed the target once,Ive shot recurved bows before and i dont remember having this problem,i feel like if something is going to go wrong and i close my eyes to protect them,any help
