My bhead was a slick trick Mag, elephant was two blade, can't help on rest. Good luck!
I'm confidant my buff rig would kill one of your bears graveyard dead if I took the shot I'd wait for.
Agreed, like I say a fast hard hitting bow, faster allows for a larger broadhead if needed to get the extra K/E.
