Long or short, each has its place afield. The older I get, and the more scarce the birds, I find lighter guns to be a blessing. If they are beautiful, I have something to engage myself with in the long spans of time between coveys.
BUT, let's not start a craze for short barreled guns just yet...until I have time to acquire a few more at the more reasonable price.
