I know this is a question that may possibly be better suited for another forum, but here I am, and here goes.
It is generally accepted that the longer the barrel(s) on a shotgun the less the
perceived lead will be on a specific target presentation. I do not argue this and, in fact believe this may be the reason so many of the best sporting clay competitors in the world are using 32" barrels now ......... it's just easier to replicate a shorter perceived lead on repetitive targets than it is a longer lead. So, I do not question the premise.
But, my question is why. Why do 32" barrels make the perceived lead look less that that of a shorter barrel(s)? I'm looking for an answer that is based on the physics ............. plain and simple (numbers, if necessary
).
Anybody here understand the mechanics of it well enough to explain it to me?
Thanks, SRH
