More concerned with recoil in a Pistol Encore. Fine line between recoil in a hunting pistol vs pure knockdown power. I want to still be gun hunting and not have to track and drag one like I'm bo hunitng, but I don't want a gun that I need ratchet straps to hold onto when shooting from 20' up in a tree.
I hunted some with a Contender in 7mm TCU. It was my impression that recoil in a pistol requires you to keep your head out of the way, but doesn't cause the pain heavy recoil can put on a shoulder. Maybe I'd felt differently if'n I was shootin' a .308.
