(contd.)
So From here out it was time to get Shootin, I wasnt sure which bow I was going to bring on the trip, I had been shooting My A&H ACS for a few months and was having good results with it.
HOWEVER I had been Shooting My Bob Lee, and had been doing very well and winning lots of 3D shoots with it, SO I decided that that was going to be the bow to bring. After this decision was made I was doing a bit more reading on the past BQ posts that the shots were VERY CLOSE which admittedly was making me more nervous. So I decided it was time to Break out the 3D target and get shooting from my Tree stand at close range. (10yds) and 7' high tree stand makes for an extreme angle. SO I took My trusty Longbows up in the tree and began to shoot. the results. were awful. I was having a hard time manuvering a 62" longbow from a stand at that angle PLUS the arrow was simply not getting enough time to correct it's self with that same situation. So on to something new. After reading Alot of the boys were bringing their old bear bows for this was an anniversary year. But I didnt have one of those BUT I have my dads Old Ben Pearson BP-H52 50#@28" Bow doc aged it somewhere near 1965. It still has the original string, and I know for a fact nothing was ever harvested with it. I thought this would be a good opportunity.
SO I practiced with it a bunch because it's NOT my regular "go to" bow. I thought the arrow set up was a bit light. So I made up some 700gr 3555 arrows tipped with 150gr Wensel Woodsman broadheads, So yes the Bow was shooting slow but at 10 yds the weight should keep the bow real quiet and plow on through. the short bow performed well from the tree and could manuver it around really well.
Now I'm not the best shot in the world and I had to think of an alternate plan for attacking bears or BEING ATTACKED by bears! Knowing that I have this fear.. IT WAS TIME TO BREAK OUT THE MCKENZIE.
So...IF I MISS!!! Heres the back up plan!!
GROUND AND POUND!!
TO AN ARM BAR!
CHOKE FROM THE MOUNT
TO REAR NAKED CHOKE!
ON TO THE HIGH TRIANGLE!
WHERE INEVITABLY I BROKE HIM IN HALF WITH MY POWERFUL INNER THIGHS!
I figured this would be my best game plan, JUST IN CASE "Uncle Barry" and his broadhead .turned out to be FUGAZZI (look it up).
