I have a problem that i need fixed. I started off wayyy to big but that was because of a personal reason. When I started Shotgun hunting it was with a 12 gauge 3 inch mag. That was when i was 11 or 12. Now every time i shoot somthing i flinch and close my eyes. Even when shooting .22's I do it. Is there a way to fix this? If I catch myself I can usually not do it the next shot or so. Thanks
i also have a flinching problem. thats why my biggest centerfire rifle is an -06...my problem starts after 5 or 6 rounds fired and is not real bad. just enough tapull a shot off from the group a little.
anway's this is what i do
1) dry fire practice with a snap-cap
2) whare a shoulder pad when fireing from the bench
3) concentrate on holding the sight picturewith total dis-reguard to discharge even after dis-charge
4) slow, smooth trigger squeeze
5) alway's where hearing protection
and like has been said practice with 22's and similar small calibers
