I've hunted grouse and woodcock in thick Michigan and Wisconsin cover using guns with 30-inch barrels and did not find them a hindrance which, not surprisingly, shows that nca225 doesn't know what he's talking about.
What exactly is it that you're contributing to a discussion about the usefulness of long barreled guns in the grouse woods by turning it to a personal attack? Several other members posted about the propriety of sub 28" barrels while hunting grouse. Are you suggesting they don't know what they are talking about either? BTW, have you published any authority on the benefits of 30"+ barrels in the grouse woods. You seem to be holding yourself out as an authority on the matter cause what works for you must work for everyone else.
Or is it that since I figure you probably don't share my infamous politics or maybe you have been singed in the past by one of my legendary insults, but those are confined to a different forum, so why don't you keep it there champ.
