We all would like to believe that we won’t flinch and we train to not flinch as we shoot.
To put a bit of a light-hearted spin on this serious topic, let’s see if you flinch watching this!
The video was shared by one of the team at the USCCA headquarters and was too fun not to share because it really does make you think.

After the text supplied with the video, I told myself I was ready for “anything.”
I still flinched.
I flinch every time I see this video. While I don’t flinch while shooting, I’m sure I’d flinch if I saw a bullet coming the other way.
I like to tell myself I don’t flinch. But I know I do, sometimes. Especially with that old trigger exercise where you slooooowly squeeze until it fires. I was always told that if done correctly, it should surprise you. And it does.
Sometimes it also gets me when it’s a nice, quiet range and I forget to put my earpro in. 
Truth be told, at times I wish I did. Guess because I grew up getting shot at as a child and being around guns as a child, plus the training in the service. I rarely do flinch, might get pissed or throw a punch or something.
Seen the video before and the tittle gave away what was going to happen.
I made the video flinch.
I’ve been a catcher before, seen that too many times.
Ha ha ha.
When Chuck Norris uses a pistol, the firearm flinches.
I blinked, does that count?
I reserve the right to lie and misdirect in order to make everyone believe I’m tougher than most.
I reserve the right to realize I’m just freaking wore out…this retirement stuff is tiring.
I just fell 500 feet from scaling a wall. My son’s new Oculus Quest VR
I tried to upload a video of my daughter using the VR device.
I tested for flinch by using a revolver, preferably with a swing out cylinder. A friend loaded it with 1 , 2, or 3 rounds, spun and closed the cylinder and handed to me. I then watched the sights when the hammer fell. If the sights move, you flinched. Did I flinch? Sometimes, but I’m getting better.
Lasers are good for tracking trigger pull. This vid wont make you flinch but most likely will make you laugh.
I do the same, but, I put 6 rounds in my pocket. Various strength, and a couple of specials mixed in the magnums. With 1 hunting load in the mix. All from the same manufacturer, so the all the brass is similar. I dont look at the case, I just put them in the cylinder, give it a spin, then close it. You might be getting a 110 grain, powder puff .38, you might be getting a .357 mag 180 grain deer load, you might get the fast and loud 357, 125 grain flame thrower.
Same here. I was a catcher for 10 years in baseball so nope didn’t flinch.
You gotta love a state rep who puts his contact info on a gun target instead of the cliché desktop calendar.
Yes, But to an acceptable degree that doesn’t affect my deviation.
nope… video did not make me flinch either. Is that weird?
