I would say that a lighter gun for a lighter bloke is right. But the length is not matched to body size, it's relationship from eye to clay. Same for all..ooooh Can of worms :lol: A lot of people will say shoot the length that fits your size ie little bloke 28" BIG BLOKE 32" Dont really subscribe to that theory myself as I am a feather weight midget and shoot best with 32" they tend to slow me down, feel steadier and suit my deliberate style
That is why I stated it is all choice. When you have several gauges you can really play and test and choose. I got rid of my 32's because I was getting better results with the 30's (prior to moving to the dark side) .Thanks Nicola I shoot a 30" and was just asking why do people choose the 32" more
Tonky, it's a bit like choke. When you can hit 70+ at registered shoots, you might just start worrying about trying a 32. Lots of more important stuff to work at in the first year or two IMO.Thanks Nicola I shoot a 30" and was just asking why do people choose the 32" more
Tonky, to really understand why people shoot 32" guns you have to shoot them yourself for a while first. As Clever says 30" is by no means useless, I started with 28", shot 30" for 10 years then switched to 32" around 14 years ago. It takes a few weeks to get the hang of it but when you do going back is very hard and even a 30" gun seems to seesaw on some targets and just lacks the smoothness of longer guns.Why is everyone choosing 32" over 30" a part from the two inches is there any real gain?
Agreed, but that was the sales pitch I overheard to more than one new shooter last time I was in a certain oxford gun shop (definitely last time too) "I fancy a 32" beretta" "no no sir, with your height and build a 30" browning would be better, 32" will be far too long" :huh:As for barrel length being related to someone's physical size that has to be bulldust.
