I have turkey hunted with 30", 28", 26", 24" and 18.5" barreled shotguns. I've decided the 24" is the sweet spot for me and 26" is knocking close behind. I didn't care for the stubby barrel at all. The long tom barrels bother me less than the shorty does. Right in the middle at 24" - 26" just does it all for me perfectly.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
