I shot international trap (bunker) competitively for 10 years using a completely stock (unaltered) Browning Superposed Pigeon Grade Lightning Trap, long tang flat knob with 30" barrels and narrow (7MM) rib weighing 8lb. 6oz. For me that particular configuration proved perfect; I tried 32" guns a couple of times but found just that short increase in barrel length put the gun's dynamic handling balance out of my control - when I'd reach the end of a fast swing on a severe angle quartering target, the gun would tend to roll off my cheek and take off on its own path. Being of medium height with shorter vs. longer arms, the control of the longer barreled gun became a distraction, then a struggle. In my case, shorter was better.
