hunt4, if you flinch before the shot, you're anticipating the shot. Flinching is always a reaction to the "anticipated" recoil at the shot. Be it rifle, shotgun, or bow. The bow does react in some way when shot. If you use a wrist strap/trigger release, shorten it if you can. Use the first knuckle of your finger, not the tip to shoot. It may sound strange, but you have less control of the release that way. But it is much harder to punch, also. And that's good. Just rest the first knuckle on the trigger and squeeze the right shoulder muscles to pull back slightly on the right hand, which should be relaxed. It takes some practice and time, but your release will be much cleaner and smoother. And don't forget to follow through. Let your release hand move straight back over your shoulder. When I execute a good shot, my release hand pivots at the wrist and moves straight back, finally resting on my shoulder. My right arm (I'm right handed) moves very, very little.
