You get big/soft guys in all forms of sport just the same as you get little/tough ones...
I think there's a bit more to it than that, I suspect it has a lot to do with how recoil is dissipated into and through different physiques, how much they grip the gun and where and whether for instance they instinctively lean into the shot or not. Big is good if it can take all the recoil without reaching that individuals threshold, I have an unproven theory that recoil can be absorbed into a big heavy shoulder whereas it pushes a lighter one away and since the shoulder is attached to the rest of the frame, then the whole frame is riding the recoil, another day may have had me put it into words more coherently.
