A man can get used to shooting just about any length barrels and eventually shoot them well, IMO. However, there are built in advantages to barrel lengths for certain applications. For serious sporting clays, where one or two targets separates the winner from the also-ran, it is my opinion that barrels in the 32" range, on fixed breech guns, can help you gain that extra bird or two, with today's target presentations.
I absolutely love 32" barrels on well balanced guns for sporting, doves and ducks. My "stable" testifies to that belief.
