[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 113232, member: 5302"] Flinching and finger flicking are more common than most folks realize. Here's what I did years ago coaching a military rifle team member who didn't believe his finger was flicking a bit when he fired a round. At 600 yards from prone, he was scattering shots into the 24-inch 8-ring and sometimes way out into the 36-inch 7-ring. So I had him get into position, but put all four fingers around the 7.62mm NATO Garand's pistol grip. I layed down beside him and put my thumb behind the trigger guard and fore finger on the trigger. After he hyperventalated and held his breath with a good hold, I'd pinch the shot off and not move my hand until he stopped moving from recoil. With him holding and me pinching off the 4.5-pound trigger, he put 10 consecutive shots inside the 12-inch 10-ring. He didn't believe his finger flicking was causing the problems it did, but was pleased he could hold well enough to shoot tens and Xes. He finally learned to hold the trigger back until his movememt from recoil stopped and became one of our teams best scoring members. [/QUOTE]
