Mr. Sauers:
The Churchill style, as advocated by Robert Churchill (below) is essentially a low-gun instinctive approach. Perfect for flushing game like grouse. Churchill's Shotgun Book outlines the technique fairly well.

What's more, it can be practiced with any barrel length gun. The short Churchill XXVs are ideal. But any 26-inch gun is virtually the same.

The Churchill rib is narrowed to provide the visual illusion of a longer barrel. It helps as well. But the whole game is about practice. With any gun of any barrel length. THAT will create the hits.

Nonetheless, a new Churchill XXV can't hurt!
