Yes they are, but the ones I'm familiar with, and probably many or most of the ones I'm not, want to do more than simply arrow the bear and have the job finished with a rifle. Things have to be right- and close- to kill a bear with an arrow. A smaller rifle, like a bow, is simply going to limit one's opportunities, but also require a person to hunt (stalk) better and closer.


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
