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 dont know if thats true or not but when i was 13 i got a Mossberg 835 and was shooting 3 1/2's at deer and then got a30-06when i was 15 and it was no problem to shoot accutratly. Now im 19 and have no problem shooting about any caliber that is handed to me. I started when i was younger and shot smaller guns to learn but went to larger gunsas soon as i could.But my little brother who is actually bigger then me cant take therecoil of anyting over a 30-06 and shot the same as me growing up. He is 6' 3" and 185 pound and im 5' 10" and 155 pounds.
I understand, that there are a few exceptions, but, for the most part, the muscle memory, and mindset, that is developed from shooting "hard kickers" often leads to one, wanting bigger rifles.
