Every new or inexperienced female shooter I take to the gun range, even before picking up a firearm<\/a> asks, \u201cHow badly is it going to kick?\u201d As soon as they ask, I know there is a high probability that hitting where they aim is going to be problematic. If you have prematurely psyched yourself up that the gun is going to hurt, you have the tendency to flinch when you pull the trigger. We call this anticipating the recoil. Anticipating the recoil will negatively affect accuracy.<\/p>\n

As a side note, I have never had a man ask me this question; I am pretty sure it has something to do with the same reasons you guys never ask for directions. Just to let you know, flinching or anticipating recoil \u2014 the technical term is heeling \u2014 is an extremely normal and incredibly common issue, even for experienced shooters. <\/p>\n
