RE: Mechanicals or fixed for large Black bears
Archer's Choice dvd's show how the spitfire will down a bear in couple of seconds. My guide hwo isn't a bowhunter adviced me against it. I used a fixed blade on my bear last fall and dropped him in 40 yards but it all goes back to placing your shot in the vitals. Study the boiler room of one of them before you go and have a great hunt. It's a blast.
