I have noticed, that people who were shooting heavy kickers, when they were in a very developemental stage in their life, go on to want to shoot heavy recoiling firearms. Take for example, someone who shoots a 12 Gauge, when they are like 10-13 years old, well, a couple years down the road, they start looking into buying rifles, like the .300 Win Mag, or 45-70, or something.
I agree with that 100%
I think learning young helps to build form based oninstinct.
"Form is the recoil absorber."
The earlier you learn proper form and the heavier the recoil is when learning, the easier it will be to achieve accuracywhen using the "shoulder busters".
But if proper form is not taught to begin with, the use of harder hitters can create flinching.
