How can I stop blinking eyes?

[Ogame]

I found out that I blink my eyes everytime I pull my trigger when I go to shooting range. I try not to blink my eye so hard but it was so hard... Do professionals who have been shooting for many years blink their eyes too?

Superglue????

Might have troubles sleeping at night, but you won't blink anymore.

given the amount of air that moves around when you shoot a firearm, you SHOULD be blinking your eyes, it's a good saftey feature your body has built in…but it should be a reaction to the shot not a pre-reaction to the shot, on a stationary or semi stationary target you need to think more about the act of firing the gun things like smooth trigger pull, sight picture etc. now don't take this the wrong way, but the best shooters in the world will tell you that they pull the trigger in such a way that they don't know the exact moment that the gun will go off, they have a good idea that it's going to go off within this half second time frame, but they don't know the exact moment because they are working on fundamentals like smooth trigger pull breath control etc. you are most likely anticipating the shot, don't. it's something that's kind of hard to teach over the internet, but if you go down to your local gun range, there are most likely some really cool dudes there, many of whom would like nothing better than to make a friend by teaching you how to shoot, ask the range owner if he knows of anyone that might be able to help you out for a few mins with fundamentals. Or go buy a book on the subject. it's very easy to get proficient, it's very hard to get good, if you want to get good no one on the internet is going to get you there.

The next time Geordi LaForge does a level 4 diagnostic on your positronic neural net, ask him to disable your blinking program.


If, on the other hand, you are not an android on Star Trek, forget about not blinking.

Cut off your eyelids.

Cut off your eyelids.

That'll work - may want to carry some eye drops too.

I like the other suggestions, but good old Scotch tape has always done the trick for me. If you have a REALLY strong blinking reflex I recommend duct tape.:cool:

You REALLY have an affinity for duct tape, you know that? :D

[txinvestigator1]

Just close your eyes when you shoot and you won't blink. :rolleyes:

I do? :confused: Refresh my memory. ;)

Oh yeah, right ... :D In due time you will, too. :p

Try getting some snap shots (kinda like blanks but not powder) and practice with them. Then you get used to pulling the trigger and no scary result. Then mixing them with the regular ammo. You won't know which one is going to go off.
