Waaaay back when I was young, body flexible , eyes that could pick up a target like a hawk and reflexes quick as a cat I could pick up any gun without regard to weight, barrel length, length of pull or amount of drop and hit targets well. Now that I am stiff as a board, wear bifocals and struggle to pick up a bag of dog food I have pretty much settled on my 26 inch open choke 6 lb Fox when the birds are holding to the point or one of my 28 inch tight choked 6 1/4 lb Foxes when the birds are flushing at 30 - 35 yards. I can still shoot the 30 and 32 inch guns but not as well as the short barrel quick swinging short barrels at live birds. Clay targets are a different story give the extra time to pick up track and swing through the target I shoot the long barrel guns perhaps a bit better.
