RE: thumbhole stock or no hole??
I picked one up last week and gave serious consideration to buying it for my Encore. But, I started thinking about it. Out of the last 6 or 7 deer I have killed, at least half have been while shooting left handed. Not by choice, but they have just come out in such a way that I would have had to stand up and get all contorted to get a shot right handed. Either they were close and I didn't want to risk standing, or I was in a situation thattwisting that far around or standing wasn't easily done. As long as I have a good rest, it does'nt matter to me whether I am shooting left or right handed, especially with my Encore. So, I decided against it, trying to hold it and shoot left handed just would not work at all. But, I do admit, they feel really good and solid.
