[QUOTE="manitou, post: 1576929, member: 105280"] Generally speaking a longer barrel is better for wingshooting birds on the fly. It helps with a longer sight plane, but improves the "smoothness" of your swing. Turkey do not require a long barrel. I have killed many, many gobblers with 28" barrels with no issue. No need for a short one as it will hurt you when shooting flying doves IMO. I actually like 30-32" tubes on my double guns due to the shorter action... the longer barrels help me stay on target and aren't as whippy. This is the reason serious shotgun competitors shoot 32"+ barrels. [/QUOTE]
