I've never seen a shotgun I hated more for weight forward than an 1100 with 30" barrel. Put a 26" skeet barrel on it and you have something a small to average man can hold up long enuf to pull the trigger. On the other hand, my 34" Flues SBT is so similar in "dynamics" to double barrel target guns of my experience that I don't notice a difference. In fact, I've shot singles-only skeet with it and was 20+ with the mod choked barrel. To some degree, the moron on one end (read novice) does require more on the other to encourage swing followthru. I haven't mastered all of Rocket's parameters of objective measurement but am a strong believer in the refinement of half-weight radius--tapered on one end and hollowed out on the other to put at least 50% of gunweight between the hands.
