Like The Famous Grouse I have also have accepted the challenge of using a T/C Encore pistol. Mine is in 7mm-08. They require lots of practicing due to the long eye relief scope and the recoil. It is much harder to use than a rifle or shotgun of any type. I have a couple friends that have shot it more than once but they are magnum handgun shooters. Most shoot once and say thats cool but no 2nd shot. I still don’t take off hand shots and must use shooting sticks or rest. I do enjoy shooting it throughout the year. Good luck on whatever you decide to do.
