On Barrel Length: How long is long enough?

[Mike of the Mountain]

Bill, those 8g guns with 34"-36" barrels and weight of 12+ lbs are not conducive to a smooth swing!! It takes a lot of schwoop to get them going.

[Randy Roberts]

Gaucho had his opinion on long barrels. If you believe everything he wrote the 34" 8 pound guns " are only for large strong men, no others need ever to expect to derive any benefit".....
