Not a result of recoil. I shoot large bore rifles without any yip.

Agreed. Me, too. The biggest thing I did to help myself is to make myself "slap the trigger". As a competition target shooter for much of my life, pistol and rifle, I had pretty much perfected the type trigger pull necessary to be competitive at it. It is exactly what you should NOT do with a shotgun. Every time I told myself to slap the trigger there was never a flinch. I believe the difference in telling myself "don't flinch" and telling myself "slap the trigger" is the difference between a negative thought and a positive one. My LMS flinch on clay birds is 99+% gone since I began this. And if I remembered to tell myself that more often, until it became ingrained, I believe it would be 100%.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
