varies from plus to minus, the logical divi¬ 
sion of the causes would be those that 
produce plus effects and those that produce 
minus effects. In general, those causes 
that accelerate the mental and muscular 
activities are termed plus; those that retard 
the activities are termed minus. 
Some of the more common plus causes 
are a cup of coffee (or tea), a smoke, ex¬ 
citement, anxiety, etc., and may be com¬ 
pensated by allowing the sight to be a little 
nearer the target than normally when the 
trigger is pulled. The most common minus 
causes are a full meal, depression, lassi¬ 
tude, disappointment, etc., and may be com¬ 
pensated by pulling the trigger when the 
sight is a little father from the target than 
normally. Self-consciousness, lack of con¬ 
centration, etc., produce flinching, so inti¬ 
mately associated with our “Offs.” 
F LINCHING may be defined as the in¬ 
voluntary contraction of muscles 
caused by lack of concentration. Lack 
of concentration may be the result of fear 
of being kicked, by stage-fright, by at¬ 
tempting to carry on conversation while 
shooting, by annoyance, or by the • mind 
roaming over other fields. Fear is com¬ 
monly associated with high power rifle and 1 
shot gun shooting, usually at targets, rarely 
at game. One who flinches with a .22, 
either pistol or rifle, does so simply because 
his mind is not entirely upon his shooting: 
that one shot. 
Flinching is indicated by an involuntary 1 
contraction of muscles (noticable at once 
by the shooter), by which the rifle or gun 
may be suddenly more tightly gripped, 
throwing it out of line; by closing the: 
eyes; or by throwing the body forward, 
etc. It occurs more frequently with those 
who have not developed the power of con¬ 
centration to any considerable degree, 
whose attention is easily diverted. 
It requires less effort, less concentration, 
to close all the fingers simultaneously than 
to close any single one. Try it. And so 
when shooting, if one’s attention is divert¬ 
ed less concentration is exercised in pulling 
the trigger, so that instead of contracting 
the trigger finger, the shooter contracts the 
entire hand. This fact is recognized by 
many writers and shooters who would have 1 
you “squeeze” the trigger, implying that 
one should slightly squeeze the entire grip 1 
The word “squeeze” is used more to differ¬ 
entiate the method of pulling the trigger 
(it should be pulled uniformly not jerked) 11 
than to eliminate the least whit of concern 
tration. No one advocates “squeezing” the 
trigger at the expense of concentrating th( 
mind upon every factor that enters into , 
the successfully shooting that one shot. 
The best method of preventing or curing 
flinching, then, is the concentfation of thi 
mind upon the shooting. In this connec 
tion it may be truthfully stated that flinch 
ing is induced by suggestion. The coacl 
who says “now don’t flinch“ or “it won’ 
kick” defeats, without doubt, the object de 
sired. I have witnessed several operation 1 < 
by one of America’s greatest surgeons (ear 
eye, nose and throat) and invariably at th<| I 
beginning of all his operations (when th 
patient is not under a general anesthetic 
he diverts the attention of the patient b'i 
interesting conversation, or if need be, b; 
some very good jokes. His object is ac 
complished. The conclusion is easily de, 
duced. At a training camp the coach wa
