Thread: Dealing with a flinch

I had a bit of a flinch years ago with my unsuppressed 270. Went to the range, put in some ear plugs and told myself the rifle isn't going to hurt me if I'm holding it properly.
Held rifle, controlled breathing and gently squeezed trigger till it fired. Also try and look through scope the whole time immediately after the shot. All this helped me.
Biggest part was overcoming my internal fear of nothing.
