flinching problem
I have a problem with flinching, right as im about to shoot, ill move slightly in anticpation to the shot, I think the reason i flinch is because the first time i ever shot a gun, i put my eye to close, and got nailed in the eye, and got a black eye, when i flinch i sometimes close my eyes right before the shot.
ill hit 3 times right in the bullz eye, thanone 6 inches to the left.
what do you guys do to not flinch when your about to shoot?

RE: flinching problem
Get a picture of a deer, or a mount, or a decoy and practice dry firing over and over. While you dry fire think of likely scenarios in your mind. And of course, make sure you gun is unloaded and pointing in a safe direction before you do this. MV out!

RE: flinching problem
Dry Fire.
First, do a little research and make sure that it will not cause damage to your weapon by dry firing it (it is okay for some, not okay for others). If you are unsure, you can buy dummy cartridges (snap caps?) that will prevent damage to your firing pin. USE SAFETY WHEN DRY FIRING. Never dry fire at anything you are not WILLING to destroy. People die from "dry firing".
My gun is a Remington Model 700 (.270). On the Remington website there is an FAQ that says that dry firing will NOT damage my gun. If you can't find this information for your weapon, error on the side of saftey.
Dry fire just like you would shoot at a real target. Practice breathing, squeezing the trigger (not jerking). Remember, ideally, the shot should come as a "suprise" to you.

try a smaller caliber that way you dont worry about recoil and getting ringed by the scope

RE: flinching problem
I have a problem with flinching, right as im about to shoot,
One way to get rid of a flinch.
Is to get a 22 revolver.
And stager the ammo with fired empty cases.
But don't look to see where they are in the cylinder.
Then shoot at a target.
The empty cases will act like dmuuy rounds and after a while you will slowly get rid of the flinch.
And when you snap on the live rounds it will be unexpected and
You will over come the flinch.
I hope this helps.
