Balance on 28 Gauge Repro 26" barrels

[Dean Romig]

As long as you remain cognizant that you will be carring a light gun - quite possibly the lightest double gun you own - the gun will swing as an extension of your body and mind. I have a couple of those with 26" barrels.

Let's see, how can I explain this....

The mind has to be tuned to the fact that you are carring a light gun which requires a bit more focused control than a heavier gun might require. So... your mind controls your body with the underlying concept (the knowledge) that the 'instrument' you are weilding might require a bit more concerted control.

I prefer a lighter gun and the barrel length doesn't make any difference in the way I shoot. I've taken fast flying grouse with IMP/MOD 26" barrels at 43 yards and at 4 paces. Be "one" with your gun.
