RE: Ok would you rather?
I passed up a perfect broadside shot on a black bear at a distance of 35-40 yards. I just didn't have enough broadheads downrange at that distance to feel confident in a perfect shot. Sometimes I kick myself for not taking it, but if I had killed it what would I ever do with it?
I did learn something fromt encounter though and that is to practice just a bit more past 30 yards. The problem is that I hate destroying broadheads and arrows. A miss can cost upwards of $10 a pop.
