Flinching

[Awag1000]

So I took the idea of dryfiring to practice then when I got to the range I started off with a 223 rifle to warm up. This was the Last magazine of the day. I flinched on the first shot so I decided to practice more on the 223. After taking things real slow with the last 4 rounds I ended up placing a pretty impressive group at 100 Yards. thank you for all of your help.

Which is a prime example of what I’ve been saying.

I bet your dryfire practice was perfect every time. As soon as your subconscious expected recoil, you flinch returned at some point.

The Hide is so full of good expert shooters that have all been there and done that and are willing to help.

Relax, no one has died from recoil of a 300 WM.

My Nosler Custom Comps are often a "two group" bullet.

Maybe try some other projectiles.

for some of us, relaxing is one of the hardest things to see and do.

I keep a few of these in the glove box in case my buddies develop a flinch.
Just pull the tape and stick it to the sore area. ???
