A longer barrel helps you with pass shooting
I find that I can shoulder and get on the birds (whether geese, ducks, grouse, pheasant, etc.) with a 26".... If your not swinging through properly, that's more of a shooter form issue...
IMO......For quail and rabbits, where shooting is at close range and in brushy country, the cylinder choke is best. Usually, a barrel length of 26 inches serves well with this choke. For shooting pheasants, waterfowl, grouse, and other game at long ranges, the full choke barrel works more successfully, and barrel lengths of 28 or 30 inches are recommended. Actually, a longer barrel does not give a hunter much additional killing range, but it does make sighting easier.
