I don't pay any attention to barrel lengths when I shoot a gun. A barrel is a barrel to me.😊 To clarify: I used to have a Parker 12 gauge that someone cut the barrels back to 18" for a cowboy shooter. My buddy had a Stoeger with 18" barrels and we'd break skeet targets as easily with them as we did our other guns- mine a Citori with 28" barrels. Or, I'd take my Beretta 686, O/U trap gun, pull a Tom Knapp by sliding the buttstock up in my arm, aligning the beads and break targets with the 30" barrels. I don't brag about being good, but you learn to adapt. Never shot grouse, so I heard that's like being in another world as difficulty goes. Good luck.
