Thread: Technique Tips - Newbie

I at one stage developed a flinch for no reason at all, even used to flinch shooting an air rifle.
I found for some reason noise was the thing that was making me flinch/jump.

Get some decent earmuffs and shoot your 22 consciously thinking about not flinching and keep looking through scope to target even after pulling the trigger.
Definitely put a limbsaver on your Tikka, the lightweight in a 308 does jump around a lot.
Even with your suppressor on wear earmuffs and just concentrate on not flinching, if you start to tense up let go of the trigger and try again.
Think about trying to shoot the smallest group possible and tell yourself you don't care how much the gun kicks, you just want small groups.

That's what I did anyway, eventually you get to the point that even with a heavy kick the desire to hit what you are aiming at is more important that the kick the gun is going to give you.
