I agree that there are draw backs to the Encore but it wasn't meant for guys like you and me.

Case and point. I was at the shooting range just before hunting season. There is guy sitting next to me with his buddy and kids. They were high five-ing each other and claiming that the guys shooting was amazing.I scanned his target with my scope. If the guy wasn't shooting 4" at 100 yards he was 5".

Minute of deer.
