Bear Quest III BEAR HUNT June OPENINGS

PV · February 02, 2009, 12:40:00 AM

A tippet forged broadhead on a beman 500. Undecided on the bow . Probably hasn't been built yet.
Now if I could just talk him out of that sweet little caper with the beverage opener........

Hmmmmmm....Probably my Kanati 58" 63#@30" shooting Beeman MFX 340 with 300gn upfront. Total weight 660gn

Also I'll be trying really hard to get at a bear with my Shaun Webb selfbow (72#@30") and a Woody Blackwell 300gn stone point.

Or one of the Morrisons...

Or the Shrewesque...

Or the Miami Valley...

Or my Horne...

Hmmmmmmmm

I believe I will be on the '59 Kodiak bandwagon with Forgewoods and greenies, though its a long way off and things change. It will be an old Bear stick of some kind.

1st week Shaun?

drewsbow · February 02, 2009, 08:18:00 PM

Well I'm going to be the guy with the wimpy 42# Abbott or 42# whisperstick , both drawn to 30 " so close to 50# at that draw. Beman ics energy with 400 up front. Either woodsmans on steel or 100 gr snuffers on steel . Total weight of 660 gr still tweaking things a little but should be close. Drew

Paul, week 1. It will be swell to share camp again.

PV · February 02, 2009, 08:47:00 PM

Looking forward to it Shaun!

Hummm...might have to figure out some new swap tricks. Might be fun to try for a Big Blackie with a PV bow :D

Building a donation bow for the MBA (midddle two)thats your # and has the rest on the off side.

Tom Phillips · February 03, 2009, 12:32:00 PM

Drewsbow,
Any of those setups will be plenty !!!!!!

drewsbow · February 03, 2009, 06:47:00 PM

Tom : I put arrows through two doe this season , complete passthrough . I was only shooting 300 up front then . I really like the lighter bows now and have confidence in them

Drew

Drew I've taken 2 bears the last 2 years in Que'bec with a 50# Bear take down.Both were pass through's one bear went about 20 yards and my bear last year was only 13 paces from my stand.I think 50# is plenty for black bears.A well placed shot is the trick to short blood trails...bd

Matty · February 05, 2009, 01:04:00 AM

I might have to jump on this band waggon, I have My Dads 1969 Ben Pearson which has never laid down an animal, 50# but I think Pulls 48 anymore... You kids think this is sufficient? I Can Load up a sitka come clode o 600 gr With a good Head. Deadly?? Gimme your houghts Otherwise I'm bringing my Pronghorn 55# or my New A&H acs #50

tippit · February 05, 2009, 06:15:00 AM

Ya know Paul...there are more of these where this one came from

Any of them will be just fine Matty.

Whip · February 05, 2009, 07:41:00 AM

Paul and Jeff - I could see that trade coming from 1,000 miles away!

Matty, that bow would be plenty good medicine for bears. Good shot placement and you wouldn't have any trouble at all. BQ is a great place to use special bows you might not otherwise feel comfortable trying because the shots are so close and well controlled. It would be really cool to take a bear with your Dad's old bow

PV · February 05, 2009, 08:44:00 AM

Could be Whip.

Glad to hear the K-zoo went well.

Jeff Strubberg · February 05, 2009, 02:59:00 PM

Doc, you ever come up with any gear you want in trade for that slim lovely you had wth you in Texas?
