Encore Shotgun

[fabsroman]

I haven't tried it, but I would be a little leery to use it on anything that wasn't rifle like in style. For upland and waterfow hunting, you need a buttstock that has some drop at the heel. Most rifles don't have much drop because they are designed in a straight line so that recoil is directed directly back into the shooter's shoulder and not up into the shooter's cheek. Kind of like trying to upland or waterfowl hunt with a trap gun. I tried using my trap gun to hunt doves the first year I had it, and it was tough because of the flat comb.

Now, if the comb on the encore has some drop to it, it would be just fine for upland and waterfowl hunting. My other problem with it is that it is a single shot.

With all that said, I haven't used one to upland or waterfowl hunt.
