Flave , is a phony, he would run if threatened, by a bigger bottom feeder, if a bear appeared he would be so busy slipp'in and slid'in in his own schitt, the bear would lay down laugh at flave, just like most of us. back to the bottom Catfish. Rio7

Thank you, sir. We should have another phone chat one of these days.

I had to defend myself against a bear on a moose hunt up in the very NW corner of Saskatchewan a few years ago. Thankfully, for me, my rifle was already in my hands as we were tracking a moose and the guide kept telling me "be ready, we're close". We came up over a small hill and I literally walked right into 2 black bear cubs! They gave a little bark and went straight up trees faster than I would have thought possible. I immediately started looking around thinking oh crap! About 70 yards away, mama stands up sees me and immediately charges, ears flat to the back of her head and popping her teeth like crazy! She looked like a high speed shadow coming across the ground. I put a round in the ground in front of her to no effect. In the time it took me to work the action and be ready to shoot again she was very close and not slowing down at all. My second shot planted her not very far in front of me, again, thankfully for me, and I worked the bolt again just in case. It just took me about 3 times as long to type this than it did when it happened, still amazed at the speed of the bear and can still see it like it just happened. All I can say is, that time it worked out for me, could have easily worked out for the bear instead. If my rifle had been over my shoulder instead of in my hands, if I hadn't already been squared up to the bear... You can shoot at paper or cardboard all you want (and that's a good thing), say what you'll do all you want... having had it happen to me showed me how lucky I was!

The way the bear came in on us put the guide behind me and he had no shot, other than through me. And it truly happened so fast, there's no way he could have sidestepped me to get into position for a shot before it was over or the bear was on us. My 338 Win Mag reloads using 250gr Barnes TSX literally knocked the bear back like she had run full force into a brick wall. One last snap of her teeth and then the moan from too close!

So drills and practice are essential!

Remember that time we had that grizzly come at us out of the treeline? And you left me with my sprained ankle hobbling down the trail? Good times laugh

I only recall one bear encounter with you and I do have the pic of that bear somewhere.

Thanks again for letting me ride piggy-back despite your bad ankle.

Dean... did you shoot from the hip or could you see through the scope?

From the shoulder for both shots, through the scope. Always keep your scope on its lowest power until more is needed. Once the rifle went up, it didn't come down until I was certain the bear was dead. I certainly realize it could have gone the other way!

Revisiting this concept for the holidays. Low round count and fun for those with family/friends in town.

Three targets:

25yd
15yd
5yd

[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]


This would approximate 10yds per second, which would put the bear at a leisurely 20mph.

One round per target.

Three A-Zones is par for hits.
3.0 is par for time.

Best time for me was:

That was with a G17, no optic, ALS holster and duty size belt.

Had lots of low 3's and lots of 3.0's with a C-zone hit at the 25yd.

What’s a real gun? I ate $hit when a black bear charged me. I had a “real gun” super Blackhawk running 300+ gr’s at full tilt. I was so slow out of the holster and thumbing it on a pb range charge I would have taken a G17 in a chest holster any day. I missed btw

There are real guns like a 44 mag.
The VAGINAmm is not a bear charge stopping caliber.
It would be more interesting if the drill was run with a caliber more appropriate with stopping a charging bear.

Grab a handgun of your choice in caliber, look this bear in the face and tell me you have enough skill or gun to get out of this alive..

That may very well be the takeaway from this drill.

Yes, I do. And neither you or any other forum dip [bleep] can prove otherwise.

Why do I say that?

Because the data on bear attacks proves me right. Very few folks successfully fending off bear attacks with a handgun are forum-approved pistoleros. They're average Joes who decided they would fight.

So read the data, learn, and stop posting stupid [bleep].

Not a problem.

But then I don't get all skeered around grizzlies.
