[QUOTE="hoffbill, post: 1709862, member: 75091"] A lot of it for me is muscle memory. If I spend several range sessions shooting big boomers a lot it will develop a flinch. I am old and arthritic so I am just not able to endure recoil like I used to. My solution is what several others have mentioned. Lots of dry fire and lots of 17HMR rimfire rounds do more for my accuracy than shooting a lot of high powered ammo. It develops muscle memory and confidence. Another method I use to check technique is turn a high power scope up to 16 to 24 power at 50 or 100 yds and do dryfire. This give full magnification of any movement I am putting into the rifle. And I can see my heartbeat so I know it is still working. :) [/QUOTE]
