+1! Eye protection never hurts either. She will eventually overcome the fear but it has to be in her own terms.

haha. she has actually been hunting much longer than I have and, in my opinion, is a better shot/hunter than I am. That being said...the scope breaking her nose really shook her up. We got out last weekend shooting, and she did not flinch nearly as bad as she was a few weeks ago. She didn't even flinch the first few shots. once I noticed her flinch I told her to stop and take a break. She seems to be getting better.

l will give you one tip of getting rid of recoil based flinching. Try to see your shot hit the target. its impossible to see the shot hit the target with a decent calibre because of recoil. but this will prevent you blinking or flinching just before you shoot. keep this in your mind and you-your wife will overcome flinching and will become a 100 time better shot than before.
