| blitzking The standard cure for a handgunners flinch is to practice with a partner who loads the gun sometimes with live sometimes with dummy rounds or a mixture of both. Should work with a rifle. Remember, you are trying to SQUEEZE the trigger not jerk it, it should be a surprise when the trigger breaks. Squeeze slowly and you won't know when to flinch. Guy |

| You beat me to it, Blitz. Flinching with a rifle is much more likely to be due to noise than recoil.
You might add plugs under the muffs. Help you 20 years down the road even if it does not help your shooting now. |

| As a long term incipient flincher myself I use dry firing, firing a 22rf, trigger work (no creep), avoidance of heavy recoiling calibres, taking your time and not rushing, examination of each shot and never regarding yourself as cured.
It is perfectly possible to become a good shot suffering from an incipient flinch but you must allways hold it in the back of your mind. |
