I will try to answer this one as best i can. I was reading something the other day about different lengths and it was talking about the BB patterns and such. I myself use a 28 inch but that is because i am not really paying attention to it, as long as it hits what i am aiming at, its all good *l* I think the 26 would be better when you are hunting quail or other upland birds in brushy areas or whatever, a duckblind too because you don't have to worry about hitting it on the side or even another hunter if he/she is in there with you. In short, it all depends on what type of hunting you plan to do, at least that is what i do rather.
