This is a story of self control and shooting skill by a woman with a bow against a fierce predator.

The woman tells her story:  "While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my boyfriend, we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging us out of nowhere.  She must have been protecting her cubs, because she was extremely aggressive.  If I had not had my bow with me, I would not be here today."

She added further, "Just one shot to my boyfriend's kneecap was all it took.  The bear got him and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace."

In conclusion she stated, "This is one of the best bows in my collection."

Yeah but....
What bow was she shooting...? Length, draw weight, Brand?

Does she shoot 3 under or split?

Was she shooting Gap or Instictive?
