Fine for quail, woodcock, maybe grouse (dunno). Five inches too short for me for dove, duck, sporting clays.

Edited to add: The question of barrel length is not, for me, what can I get by with using, but what do I use BEST. A lifetime of shooting flying has convinced me I shoot better averages, in most situations, with longer barrels. The best woodcock day I ever had was shooting a 30" barreled 28 gauge. Different strokes for different folks.
