My polar bear set up is my Black Widow 56lb @ 28", 4 blade 125gr Muzzy Phantom on Beman MFX shaft, arrow weight is 480gr. Strategy is to get as close as safely possible, 25 yds would be awesome. I'll keep ya posted. I'm staying in Yellowknife tonight, heading to Ottawa tomorrow and then on into Pond Inlet on Monday. Will buy my tag and license and headout out with the dogs tuesday morning.

wasapt, Please take lot's and lot's of pic's, so we can show the kids this is what daddy looked like before the bear ate him      

Just kidding you, I hope you have already done your home work, because your already there.

I love what your doing and can only hope and pray that I, also will be able to live that dream.

The 56lb sounds OK, still I would of tried to build up to another 10lbs for this hunt, but the 480 grains sounds way to light.

56lbs with 600-650gr. would give a lot more penetration.

Please my friend don't take my post the wrong way, I love what your doing and am vary thankful your sharing it with us.

So, get nice and close, thread the arrow through the hart/lungs, take 2 million pic's and get back to those that love you.

Very cool(NPI). Good luck on the bear.

Didn't know you could shoot a polar bear.  I need to get out more.  I figured what with the world turning into a green-house that they had all the polar bears safely tucked away in a government sponsored "safe" place.  You reckon someone has been lieing to me about them being endangered and running out of territory and food?  I sure hope you kill a big one so that all the others will have a little more breathing room.  Good luck, can't wait to see pictures!

I had your thinking previously, 480 gr would be too light but after speaking to many who have done the deed, Eichler,Dunn,Beeler,Leqve,Fromm ( 3 of whom all have taken each of the 28 via archery equipment) I have changed my mind about the need for heavier bows and heavier arrow weight. I appreciate your post as I am am sure many may have thought the same thing but I believe it will be plenty to get the job done quickly and sufficiently. I will certainly let you know how it turns out.

You-da-man...congratulations on your accomplishment.  Good luck with the bear.
Looks too cold for me but you look right at home out there.
Love the mittens.
