Broadheads for Bear....HELP

[wolfhunter4life]

I start bear hunting tomorrow. I'm shooting a 44 pound longbow because I hurt my shoulder at work and it's hard to pull my 60. I am using cedar arrow with either snuffer 125s or zwickey eskimo 125s. Which would you guys shoot? Both shoot well out of my bow. I am worried about penetration with the snuffer and lack of blood with the eskimo. Tuning arrows tonight for the hunt tomorrow....help.

My buddy Sean blew through a monster Maine black bear a couple of weeks ago with a Woodsman broadhead. He didn't make it far. Just a thought. Good luck. Tony Z.

Either one will work, bears are not a tough animal.  Either through both lungs and your bear will be laying 40 yards away.  

Good luck

Ontario bear this August. 2 blade Zwickey Delta. He went 35 yards.  410#


They all work in the right spot. The best broadhead is a sharp one.

I shot two bears with a 49# long bow shooting 167 fps. My arrows were close to or a tad under 500 grains. I used a magnus 2 blade head. Both shots were pass threws with the arrows sticking into the ground after the pass thrue. The bears went 20 yards and the other 40 yards. You are beating yourself up for nothing. Use what ever head shoots good. You will not have a problem. Just put the shot in the boiler room......DH

I used to help an outfitter in Manitoba for 16 years . Lots of bears were taken after what I seen  always use multi blade dont worry about penetration just take broadside shots and dont sit too high . Brush is thick and some bears even hit good can make it aways and be hard to find with out a blood trail most go down in 30 yards with a double lung but we had an occational bear go 150 yards or so . Fall bears have more fat you need a big hole not a small slit .When my sons were young they used 45# bows and 125 snuffers no problem with penetration my youngest put a snuffer to the nock in a 7'2" nose to tail bear with a 48# longbow ...Tim
