[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1405941, member: 55944"] Sounds like what some call a “flinch.” You are worrying about the rifle going off and treat it different then a dry fire. I have heard of several shooting instructors that will work with guys by loading the rifle for them and watching their form as they shoot. They will do a couple live rounds then not load it and watch how the guy responds to the trigger pull. If he has a problem it becomes very evident as you discovered when your bolt was up. The reason I asked if you have a routine is because that is one way to cure your problem of panic. Focus on the routine not the shot. I think you should make a literal checklist write it out and go through the list dry firing at home infront of the Tv or something. Take the list with you when you go shooting. Following the list just as you do at home and your habits will begin to change. Also have you heard of “natural point of aim”? This is something that needs to be part of your list. [/QUOTE]
