just curious to see what people are using in regards to the length of the barrels, I assume anything too short reduces accuracy but as I've heard anything too long is pointless as it then limits control, opinions please.

Optimum bore control length for accuracy is 7"

Personally,I prefer an overall barrel length of 16"

Longer barrels aren't any more accurate than all the other metal tubes out there. But you may find a slightly longer barrel (16 inch or so) easier to point and also to poke through bushes or push into bunkers than a short barrel.
