Unintentional anticipation, recoil "flinching"
What can I do, to tell if I am unintentionally anticipating recoil of my .40 semi-autos at the range?
My shot grouping patterns lately can hardly even be called "grouping" anymore, they are so scattered. I try not to anticipate, breath right, relax, s-q-u-e-e-z-e the trigger, aim correctly at front sight and target....but I have a suspicion that without meaning to , or realizing it, I am missing because of recoil anticipation(and unconscious compensating)at time of firing my semi-auto pistols.
How can I tell?
And/or how can I stop that?
Please??

yes you do. all guns eventually allow the sear to disengage the hammer notch.[:D] 0 -
Take note of your breath control, exhale slowly, then count one one thousand - two one thousand and so on while slowly squeezing the trigger. As a point shooter, I find it distracts my mind from anticipating the moment that the gun fires. You are supposed to be "surprised" when it goes off. Hope that helps. 0
