Arkansas Black Bear
« on: September 27, 2020, 04:54:56 PM »


Took this nice Arkansas Black Bear yesterday. Used a Pine Hollow Longbows, 50 lb sinew backed cedar bow and a Wilderness Custom arrow with a 185 grain single bevel broadhead with a 75 grain Woodyweight 617 grain total arrow weight. Complete pass through and short recovery. Third year in a row that a bear has been taken from my bait using Wilderness Freaks products to attract and keep em.

I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.
