There was a well known pigeon shooter from Illinois (the name escapes me) who shot a 26 inch gun at them. Long barrels are the norm though, you seldon see anything under 30 inch.
Rocket,
I never said anything about anything being "a real man's gun". I've just been to quite a few pigeon shoots and you don't see little guns in use. Your opinion that they'd do the job and the reality of pigeon shooting are pretty far apart. Some of your boys are taking this for anti-smallbore sentiment but it's really not. It's just the facts of the game as least as I've seen it played.
Take notice of what Hack has to say, he's obviously a real pigeon shooter and knows what he's talking about. I'm more somebody who occasionally shoots at pigeons but I've been there and done it at least.

P.S. When you go to the Labor Day Tournament in PA and you don't see anything but 12 bores that says a lot. Folks come in from all over the world for that one.
