A tippet forged broadhead on a beman 500. Undecided on the bow . Probably hasn't been built yet.
Now if I could just talk him out of that sweet little caper with the beverage opener........

Hmmmmmm....Probably my Kanati 58" 63#@30" shooting Beeman MFX 340 with 300gn upfront. Total weight 660gn

Also I'll be trying really hard to get at a bear with my Shaun Webb selfbow (72#@30") and a Woody Blackwell 300gn stone point.

Or one of the Morrisons...

Or the Shrewesque...

Or the Miami Valley...

Or my Horne...

Hmmmmmmmm

I believe I will be on the '59 Kodiak bandwagon with Forgewoods and greenies, though its a long way off and things change. It will be an old Bear stick of some kind.

Well I'm going to be the guy with the wimpy 42# Abbott or 42# whisperstick , both drawn to 30 " so close to 50# at that draw. Beman ics energy with 400 up front. Either woodsmans on steel or 100 gr snuffers on steel . Total weight of 660 gr still tweaking things a little but should be close. Drew

Drew I've taken 2 bears the last 2 years in Que'bec with a 50# Bear take down.Both were pass through's one bear went about 20 yards and my bear last year was only 13 paces from my stand.I think 50# is plenty for black bears.A well placed shot is the trick to short blood trails...bd

Paul and Jeff - I could see that trade coming from 1,000 miles away!    :bigsmyl:

Matty, that bow would be plenty good medicine for bears.  Good shot placement and you wouldn't have any trouble at all.  BQ is a great place to use special bows you might not otherwise feel comfortable trying because the shots are so close and well controlled.  It would be really cool to take a bear with your Dad's old bow  :thumbsup:
