Just curious what everyone's opinion on how barrel length affects certain aspects of a shotguns ability. I recently started shooting a Franchi Affinty with a 28" barrel. Ive always been the longer is better person, but I've shot some other guns with shorter barrels (26") that feel like they swing better, I guess because of the less foward weight. So I guess my question is, what would be the sacrifice of going to a shorter barrel? Mainly i shoot doves, ducks, and occasionally buckshot for deer, and rarely shoot anything outside 30 yards even with full chokes.
