Mastering Recoil Anticipation (And Flinch)

For most new shooters and even experienced ones, recoil anticipation is a silent saboteur.

It’s one reason those tight little groups end up pulling low-left for right-handed shooters. It’s the reason a shooter can see their sights perfectly, have the fundamentals seemingly locked in, and still miss their mark.

Recoil anticipation is a natural, physical reaction to a violent mechanical process.

While I rarely flinch these days, the odd one sneaks up on me. It's usually when becoming accustomed to a new firearm.
