Yeah it’s kind of amazing I was hung up on 26” bird barrels and 28” for skeet when I shot both a lot . Now it’s 32” and 34” even on the skeet field . As far as quail I’ve never gone longer than 30” but thirty years ago I’d not have been caught dead after quail or grouse with a 30” gun .

The 30” 28 gauge to say nothing of dare I say it a 32” 28 gauge that would be my Achilles heel . After having shot a couple 28 30” and handling several more lets just say they made a lasting impression that I’m sure I’ll carry to the grave .
