T/C AND I HAVE BEEN TOGETHER ALMOST SINCE THE BEGINNING. I BOUGHT MY FIRST HAWKEN WHEN I WAS 16. I THINK IT WAS THE FIRST OR SECOND YEAR THEY HAD BEEN PRODUCED. I HUNTED AND COMPETED WITH THAT GUN FOR YEARS.

I HAD ALWAYS WANTED AN ENCORE SINCE THEY CAME OUT AND FOUND A USED ONE ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO. IT IS A GEAT GUN. I HAVE HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL DEER WITH IT, BUT IN 2009, I HAD MY FIRST REALLY GOOD WALL HANGER COME BY MY TREE STAND.

I HEARD HIM COMING THROUGH THE SWAMP AND WHEN HE STEPPED OUT INTO THE CLEAR, ABOUT 50 YEARDS AWAY, IT WAS A DONE DEAL. THE MOST SYMMETRIC 10 POINTER I HAVE EVER SEEN.

IT SCORED A 139 AND HAD A 22" SPREAD. HE WEIGHED 183 LBS AND IS NOW ON MY WALL. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS MAKING THE HIGHEST QUALITY MUZZLE LOADERS AVAILABLE. I HAVE SHOT T/C FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS AND HOPE TO GET 30 MORE.
