Bears are pretty soft, and most folks hunt them at close range. You should have no problem if you are well tuned, and can put the arrow in the right place. With that low of draw weight, I would stay at least at 500gr or above. If you can handle the trajectory of your heavy arrow (and assuming it is well tuned), I think you are good to go!

Well my woods are 510gr and they behave very well .
I'll probably stick with them , that's the way I've done it for over 40 years .
Just been thinking , there might just be something to them heavy setups .
But I also believe that " if it ain't broke , don't fix it "

I have some heavy tapered alaskan carbons, boy those arrows really mess with that aimer thing in my head on anything over 25 yards.

Well I got myself a new layer target and shot at 15 yards .
The heavy arrows grouped just as good as the ones that I've been using .
The difference was , the heavier arrows hit 7" lower , but 1" deeper .
I think I'm going to stick with what I've been doing . The difference in penitration doesn't seem worth the loss in trajectory .
My 510gr penitrate 11" , and the 699gr was 12" .
But I'm glad that I gave it a try .
