[QUOTE="Huntaholic, post: 5771050, member: 605"] A flinch is a HORRIBLE thing to deal with! A lot of the advice given here is from folks that have never had the issue. Once you do, its absolute HEYALLL to break! I developed a BADDDDDD flinch with, believe it or not, ARCHERY! I battled it for years and honestly, I never overcame it. I was overjoyed when TN legalized crossbows! I shoot a bow left hand and a rifle right hand. I have ZERO issues shooting anything right handed but left handed takes a step by step procedure to execute a good shot. The ONLY way I can shoot a bow is to keep my finger off the trigger and settle the pin where it needs to be, then I CLOSE MY EYES and put my finger on the trigger and re-settle on the target. ANY other way and I will punch the trigger. Folks tell me all the time to switch to shooting a bow right handed. MY answer is "theres no way Im risking my right side to to save my left! What if it transfers to BOTH sides!?" Strangely enough, the best deer Ive ever killed with ANYTHING was a 153 and change buck and I killed him left handed with my compound! Once you have target panic its a BEEEATTCH to overcome! take him shooting targets off the bench and YOU load the rifle behind his back. BUT dont tell him what you are doing! Give him a round or two thats live, then hand him an empty gun with him thinking its loaded. Forget about the target and watch what he does when SQUEEZING the trigger. Its all in the mind. Youve got to control those instincts. I can shoot anything from a .22 short to a 375 H&H to a 3.5 in turkey load and never flinch RIGHT HANDED, I cant shoot a slingshot left handed without going through the procedure to make it hit.
