Micro 315 for Bear

[Carnivorous]

Seriously considering using the Micro 315 for Bear. It might be slower than my 355 but the bow will be great handling in my climber and has more than enough KE for a nice double lung shot if I am lucky enough to have one visit my bait site.

I wonder if anyone has taken a bear with this model yet...lol

You never know, keep an eye on the trading post..lol

I think Don would use an M16 for Bear just to be safe...

You could use an Axiom, it really is just preference , they will all kill a bear.

Shot placement is more important than which Crossbow to use.

Bear are not the same as deer, remember shoot lower if you are in a ground blind.

[bob watkins]

keep your shots around 20 yds it comes down to shot placement. 2 blade head sharp . you should be ok

Jeff my son has shoot 2 with his Phoenix , one over 300lbs so your micro would do the job

This broad head will be on the end of my arrows for Bear. 100 gr executioner with a 2.5" cut...

I used the Gold Tip Nitro Pro arrows for bison out of my Micro 335. 14GPI. With a GT Brass insert and extra 50gr wt. (to get 110gr), Blazers and a NuFletch Igniter I was right at 500gr total wt. I think that would push your BH through a bear pretty good.

20 yards from a 300 LB bear with two holes poked in him sounds like a bit of a thrill.

Added to bucket list

Most never use expandable on bear here in my area of pa ..they also use heavy arrows like 500 grs ..shooting past 30 yards no...my friends got 25 in 1 crew and 14 in the other crew last season all in one week..

I will get some info on which points they like most but they never use anything but fixed point..

I love expandables especially spitfires.but i have always used boltcutters for bear i got 2 with my 330 and boltcutters they both passed thru and short recovery . Im not nocking your broadhead i just think penetration is more important with a "lighter"bow. Use what you have confidence in thats what is important. No dought your setup will work.i think with a bad hit on a bear with any broad head will not save you so it comes down to placement a bear is really not any harder than a deer to kill people just think they are .

I would use that 315 in a heartbeat! With any broad head at your
Stand spot, you will pass thru! Remember, all my stand spots are 20 yd. or under!
And, I will make sure one comes to you!!!

See you guys soon. I Will bait in two weeks.
