If those chokes on your 30" 20ga are original, they are probably M/F or F/F and with that you have discovered the beauty of tight chokes. Nice shooting Daniel.

In my quest to get better at shooting left-handed, I've found that I shoot my 30" guns far better than my 26" guns, regardless of gauge. I can shoot 75-80% on clays with my 30" tight-choked damascus DH12, which I have only ever hunted with once and haven't really shot that much compared to others in the pile. I do think that gun fit has a bit to do with it, and if I have a slow or sloppy mount the tight chokes will still break them way out there.

Nice shooting Daniel. The only thing lacking in this equation in order for you to properly determine the best barrel length would be to try a 32" DHE 20 on an 0 frame possibly. Gives you a good excuse to go shopping, just sayin

I am left handed, the chokes on the 20 DHE are 04 and 12. I have a 16 DHE with 32 inch barrels full and full that has worked well on tower shoots but I would hate to try to kill flushing birds with it.Need to learn to pictures.

Contrary to what some would say I find that choke combination to be near ideal. That .004 choke will hit hard further out than you might think. Of course the ammo is a large part of the equation as well. As for long barrels, to each his own.
