[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1530541, member: 71039"] This was exactly my experience - my dad is a city boy who married a country girl. He doesn’t hunt or shoot, but my mom’s side of the family lived for it and got me hooked. When i was 9 I was tagging along on an elk hunt with them, mostly to ride the horses and my dumb*ss uncle talked me into shooting his 300 win mag. Didn’t even have the decency to show me the proper way to hold the gun. Of course I scoped myself and busted my eye open. He laughed (he was a real *sshat like that, we don’t really talk anymore:-) As a 9 year old and a young teenager that experience really messed my shooting up. I had to spend HOURs shooting with a 22, then a 223, 243 then a 270 etc. to get rid of my flinch. It took a few years, and a lot of trigger time, but finally got rid of the flinch. [/QUOTE]
