I think everyone can develop a flinch when they shoot too much of a major caliber.

The thing that works best for me--shoot a .22.

When I'm shooting a .45 handgun or whatever, and I start to feel a flinch coming on, I take a break and shoot some .22 handgun. Getme focusd back on sight picture and trigger control, rather than on recoil.

Good excuse to get a .22 handgun, if you don't have one.
