First bear shot on opening day in Wisconsin. After watching him for ten minutes he presented a great shot opportunity that I just couldn't pass up. He only went 18 yards after the broadheadd passed through and stopped on the far elbow. A homemade cart hauled him out 1 1\\2 miles behind my mountain bike(MPG=23 raw almonds,handful of blueberries and 8oz. water per mile)Also note the picture of the bear I walked up to within 17 yards the week before hunting,he would not leave the bait and posed for a nice picture.Big River longbow by John McDonald 51# 66", 645 grain 1918xx75,2 blade Zwickey delta. Shot appears steeper than it is due to aluminum arrow bent like a "u" in cavity. http://s1012.photobucket.com/albums/af245/gordydog/ http://s1012.photobucket.com/albums/af245/gordydog/ http://s1012.photobucket.com/home/gordydog/indexDelta.http://s1012.photobucket.com/home/gordydog/index
