On Barrel Length: How long is long enough?

[Big D]

Seems to me that I read somewhere that most targets are missed behind. More lead (Distance, not metal)

I would think that's a fair assumption John. That's what normally happens when we try to gauge leads and end up with to much muzzle awareness. Look at the barrels for that last millisecond check before sending it to make sure they are just where you want them and they will come to a screeching halt thus we shoot behind. Somewhere I read not to long ago where the author said there are 2 ways to stop the barrels from moving:
1) run them into a cedar post
2) take your eyes off the target and look at them

By gosh he may be right
