Canadian_Goose Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 its amazing how much you learn when your gun does not fire. i left the safetfy on while taking a practice shot to insure my scope was on. well i squeezed closed my eyes and pulled hard down and right. Boy did i feel stupid. So next shot i switched the safety off and relaxed and kept my eyes open. Dead center. I hope that fixed it. I can always shoot good on game but not targets. now i know why. too much oh no this is gunna hurt. (i got scoped pretty bad once). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: Revelation Oh yeah, it happens. A large cause of flinching is magnumitis. It takes some concentration to shoot a large caliber gun accurately on the range. When shooting at an animal, the kill zone is large enough that you don't really notice if you are off a bit. It shows up plain as day on paper though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Re: Revelation Oh yeah, I know what you mean... I always used to have that problem when I shoot my Remington 700 .300 Win Mag at the range, it sure does seem to kick a lot more at the range than in the field. I think the best thing would be to get used to how much force it takes on the trigger until the weapon fires. That's what I've done with my mag, and I have no problems now. I just squeeze until I know it's about to fire with the slightest bit more force, take a steady aim, and squeeze it the rest of the way. A big deep breath right before I shoot always helps too.
