Flinching when shooting skeet? Not maintaining your head on the stock of your shotgun through the shot is generally a subconscious reaction. This is common when shooting a shotgun because of the heavy discharge. Even using a lighter load may not help because the action is subconscious. This is troublesome because today’s trap machines throw out targets at various trajectories requiring you to be on your toes.
Fix this by pointing at every target twice. When shooting first break the target and then pick out a piece of the target and point at it before bringing the gun down. At first you will have to think about this method in order to do it and you will probably have to think about it on every shot. Eventually it will become second nature to you and the head lifting problem will no longer be a problem. You will also be more successful at shooting targets and fast moving game.
