I have noticed this before, but tonight I was watching last weeks episode of American Riflemen and noticed the guy shooting the 10/22 was blinking/flinching on every shot. Seems like most times I watch the Wednesday night gun shows the guys are always flinching. I just find it funny. Sorry for the useless post.

Re: TV gun guys flinching, you notice it?

I watched a pretty decent military sniper show the other night. First, they showed all the nice rifles the world over. Second they showcased the longest shots from many of the guys forward, along with the RVN crew. Lastly, they debunked the Mythbusters episode about shooting through a scope(Mythbusters said it could not happen as they could not duplicate the shot). The sniper, however, using his M40A1, and shooting the distance, and the scope of the enemy(same as was actually used) did it easily. Round blew right through teh thing. SO much for secondary plane glass...
Not one flinch either

So did they realize they must have just really sucked in the initial myth bust?
