So how do so many bow hunter manage to kill big bear with arrows with only 80lbs of kinetic energy every year ?
Placement, placement and placement !!! Good bullets with a reasonably powered cartridge 7x57, 270 ,280 ,30-06 on up to WHAT YOU CAN SHOOT ACCURATELY will get it done.
Choices
A)Shoot a 7x57 175 gr bullet into bears vitals........ DEAD BEAR
B)Shoot a 338 Win mag into the gut ....... ANGRY WOUNDED BEAR
I will chose A
Im not opposed to big caliber magnums and I can shoot them well but I have seen many hunter who can not but seem to think the more power will anchor his game faster regardless of where its hit.
