long barrel shotguns

Hmm, with an extended choke my barrel is 29.75", does that count?

Could you cut the end and put chokes in? Then shoot steel?

There has been a trend in the past 20 years or so ( maybe more) for longer barrels in skeet , where in years gone by the 28 and sometimes even 26" barrels were very common. nowadays most dedicated skeet guns can have 30" or even longer barrels at times.

It's easy to see why. With the skeet range's in my area, everyone is shooting with the gun mounted. Skeet was first created for bird hunters to practice in the offseason.

I shoot low gun, the way it's supposed to be. Nobody is going to have the gun glued to the shoulder all day hunting. 28" and 26" barrel is what I use.
