weak mind = weak wrist = weak sight picture = weak defense
J/K....worth watching but it gave me the flinchies for over thinking it......shoot more than you talk and you'll be better than 90%

I do it some times I catch myself trying to go too fast and get the flinch or jerking the trigger .
And some time I try to go to fast and don't let the trigger reset..
I just go back to the truck reload a few mags.
Take a few deep breaths.
Think about it .
Then try and try again.
Like he said the more you shoot the better you will be.

More likely reinforce poor technique.

"Practice makes perfect " isn't true if you're doing it wrong. Perfect practice makes perfect.
Not necessarily if you figure out what your doing wrong then start over and start slow and and progress .
Yep your right if I just keep doing the same thing over and over again .
But if you take the time to figure out what you are doing wrong and fix it you can teach yourself to be a better shooter.

I don't flinch anymore except when I'm shooting a handgun. I can't wait for hand surgery to make me grip better.
Had somebody today at work walk up and try to spook me. didn't happen. I also don't flinch when the shooting starts at the range and it wasn't expected.

No you said reinforce bad technique .Is that not what I said?
I took as I can not teach myself to get better.
Or that anyone else can not learn from there mistakes.
Lol I got a 45/70 that will make you flinch .lol
Maybe or maybe not . Hehehehe

Ball and dummy in a revolver seems to help, at least you can see how much you pull off your point of aim whilst flinching.
I usually just go shoot a few rounds of something abusive to settle my nerves. Short barrel 12ga or a Draco makes almost anything in 9mm seem like a bb gun.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love muzzle blast and the smell of steel case surplus. I do flinch sometimes when I'm trying to aim small with a handgun, offhand. Probably more anticipation than actual recoil sensitivity.Heh.... you should try "chili night" around my house...
Dumping a couple mags into the berm or trying to Schwarzenegger a PGO mossberg usually calms me down
