Default RE: shot placement on black bear

It probably depends on the angle. If it is broadside, I might be inclined to shoot it just behind the shoulder. One trick I use on deer, and moose is to imagine a line between the points of the shoulders. Aim for the center of that line, no matter what the angle(except a rump shot, which on a bear with a bow, I would avoid) and you will usually hit vitals.
