Default 32 inch barrel Parkers

The last few days there been lots comments on the 32 inch barrel guns. I have a DHE 16 with a set of 32's and it seems to feel great in my arms but when tried on skeet with spreader loads I was not happy. I use 28 inch most of the time.My 32s are full and full. What do most people hunt using 32 inch barrels. I know longer duck hunt and will try it on trap soon. thanks

Ducks and turkey mostly. I might try doves with a 32 this year. Despite the popularity of long barrels, my preferred length is 30 inches

My 34 inch gun will be in the dove field this year.

I've always been a poor dove shot but I've never shot a "heavy" gun on them.

I was on a high pass last year opening day and shot the big gun like a champ so I've decided I'm just using it all the time now for them.

My 32 inch guns are all used on the sporting clays course exclusively though I did venture onto a trap field a couple of weeks ago and did well.

I hunt mostly Grouse and Woodcock so 26 is preferred and 28 is max. Sometimes if I'm pheasant hunting I'll break out a 30 incher but mostly it is a 28 inch barreled gun.
