Thread: Dealing with a flinch

I've noticed a flinch starting to build, mine is only when shooting centrefire and I think the fact I'm out shooting PCP rifles every day is to blame. My mind is perfectly used to zero recoil and next to no noise when I pull the trigger but it knows to be wary of the big bad centrefires. I think I need to get my .223 out for weekly shoots, it's cheap to shoot and should build up a better sub conscious response to getting behind my bigger centrefires.

I’ve had this problem and a small caliber with a suppressor is good. 243 or 223. For myself the main time to flinch is standing. I deal with it by basically not fu$king around for too long as I think the longer you stand there aiming the quicker you head fu$ks it up. Let’s assume you see a deer inside 100 yards and a standing shot is the only option. Bring the rifle up, when it’s on the should breath out and squeeze off. Of course lying down and all the time in the world, dry fire once or twice them bombs away!
