These days about all of my grouse, woodcock and Skeet shooting I do with 26” Parkers because I just prefer that length… But not so long ago, maybe 15 years or so, I had that two-barrel set twenty-gauge Repro, both choked Q1 and Q2 but one set was 26” and the other was 28” and I much preferred the 28” set for Skeet, and I just don’t know why. The development of my preferences of barrel length was still in its infancy though.
