Adrenaline might compensate for you "noticing" recoil, but as JPro and others are noting, that doesn't mean you aren't still flinching. From what I've observed, folks who flinch on the bench actually flinch *worse* in a hunting situation if they don't have a routine they've practiced a TON. (How many new hunters tell themselves "I'm going to watch for a long time, then slowly move the rifle up, then slowly..." but in reality, they see a deer, grab the rifle, yank the trigger, flinch, and who knows how it ends up?
