Shotgun barrel length 26 vs 28 what's your thoughts

Would have to go with the 28” barrels,,, good for the short shot and the long shot,
With that being said,, all my Clay guns but two are 32” barrels

^^This^^^

28" is the minimum that I shoot well with,
30"in is even better

Seems I read somewhere our US olympic trap teams shoot 30-32 inch barrels..
Yes..Longer barrels do help.
 
I shot a 28" or 30" for year's and then swapped to a 26" and I haven't shot a 30" since. I do still shoot a 28" some dove hunting but prefer the 26" for all around.
 
28” gives the shot column more time to settle in before reaching the choke tube.
The difference between 26 and 28 isn’t a make or break deal for maneuverability in a hunting scenario.
