If it's a setup adequate for whitetails, it's adequate for bears. Bears have thinner skins as do whitetails athough their hair can be courser....Your setup is fine, shot placement is the key, practice and study bears and you'll be good to go.

Bears are not to hard to kill. But they are hard to find.The hair slows the blood bad.So if the bear runs there will be little to no blood on the ground.If you push a bear you will never find him.

I don't see a problem with it either though I personally prefer a little more arrow weight with my setups. I am sure you will be fine.
