I've never hunted bear but my dad has. In 1983 he killed a 350 pound black bear with a 55 pound Darton with aluminum arrows shooting with fingers. He had a complete passthrough. The night before the hunt they were target shooting and his partners bet him he couldn't hit a grape at 30 yards. He did it and everyone thought he was lucky. So he went double or nothing and he did it again. Everytime I start talking about how I shoot 73 pounds and 290 fps he reminds me of this story.....
