It is not simple. I know a guy who is a distinguished marksman. He was having trouble in his group of guys he shoots the pistol with. He even hired a hypnotist to cure him. It did not result in a long term cure for dipping. At some level of noise and recoil, even if it doesn't hurt, some of us do it, and I am pretty well convinced it is not completely curable over the long term when shooting 300 rounds a session.

I used to shoot skeet, and there were guys who said that recoil did not bother them. But when they got a misfire they almost jumped off the station. I could not resist saying, "For someone who recoil doesn't bother you sure have a big time flinch."

It is more mental than physical, and some of us are more inclined than others.

The best we can do is practice dry firing and when at the range use a .22 some.
