Default female black bear bow hunter needs help!

I am a 128 lb female that shoots a Mathews Mustang with a 26 inch draw length and a 52 lb pull. I use a 100 grain Muzzy broadhead. I am leaving this next week for a black bear hunt in Canada and really want to kill a black bear with my bow. I will be taking a rifle also. My question is to you bear hunting pro's out there, do you think that the set up that I have is sufficient enough to successfully harvest a 300 lb black bear if shot ideally? The last thing that I want to do is wound any animal. I have read several people say that you need at least a 125 grain broadhead with a 60-70lb pull weight and a 28 inch draw. Is all of this really necessary? If so, my dreams of killing a black bear with a bow are out the window. Help!
