Try hunting with a flintlock. After you pull the trigger, and depending on how humid it is, you might have time for lunch before it goes off. Holding a steady aim while all the histrionics take place right there in your face will train you not to flinch in anticipation. Of course, if it's REALLY slow, you could flinch and then regain your aim before the barrel discharges (just kidding, no flintlock is that slow unless it's malfunctioning somehow). Or else you should only hunt deaf, slow deer, none of which I've ever run across.
