That's just what I was thinking.Around here I have good grouse numbers.They generally bust out when I get within about 20-25yds but the covers so thick you only have a second or two to get on them.The shorter barrel would help get on them quicker but I was concerned the short aiming plane might be a problem.I was going to try it for myself but I only have the Ulti full turkey choke which just patterns to tight so it really wouldn't tell me much one way or the other.
