RE: Suggestions on caliber for youth?
ORIGINAL: Cryptic Gypsy ORIGINAL: M77man My cousin for instance started off like you did with the heavy calibers and 12 guage shot guns but he's a big, BIG, guy and can handle the recoil a lot better then I can. He shoots a .300 Win Mag and I a 7mm Rem Mag. My boy has a small frame, I don't under estimate him, but I want to ease him into it. Of course, I did think about trying out the managed recoil rounds also. Maybe another option.... But then again, I'm also looking for another excuse to get another rifle in another caliber ;) |

243 the more fun it is for a youngster to shoot the better shot they'll be. A deer wont know the difference between a 100grn bullet from a 243 and a 115 from a 25-06 but your shoulder will. A small short action is the way to go.

ORIGINAL: Pighunter56 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 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. |

ORIGINAL: Pighunter56 I just cannot understand why so many people hate "magnums", if they would just learn to use them, they would build a new found respect for them, i think. I would take the35 Whelen over the 300mag I have no problems with "Magnums". I Love to shoot them. If I was in the middle of Alaska "alone" I wouldnot be withoutone. 378 Weatherby Magnum 250 yard 30'06/308, 280/7mm08, 243/25'06shooters/hunters gain nothing going to a "Magnum", I think. |
