[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 1534988, member: 5391"] No; flinching is not 'buck fever'. Flinching is when you anticipate the recoil and and muzzle blast and shut your eyes and tense up, etc. Flinching is very common in newer shooters and usually ocurrs with guns that have a lot of recoil and blast. 'Buck fever' is a nervous excitement felt by a novice hunter at the first shot at an animal. I imagine that buck fever becomes less of a problem the more that you hunt. I admit that I had buck fever. It was the first time that I had ever shot at a mammal. I did not flinch. [/QUOTE]
