I've put off answering this while I collect my thoughts and attempt to put this in a somewhat eloquent way, but every time I sit down to type it out, the words escape me. So, what the heck.

I enjoy putting in the time and effort to create loads that maximize the somewhat limited potential we have to work with. I love the way handguns feel in my . . . well, hands. Especially the Encore's Pachmayr grip. I love the diversity of the weapons I carry, ranging from open sighted 5" barreled revolvers for up close and personal shots to the mighty 15" scoped Encores capable of reaching out and killing a deer at ranges many rifle hunters wouldn't shoot, and I love that despite the differences in weapons, it's all still handgun hunting. But most of all, I really enjoy the uniqueness of it. There's just not many of us who choose to hunt this way, and to me that makes it feel special.
