    as bear season approaches.....shot placement opinions

    I've happened upon this article. The guys seems pretty sure of himself, I've never arrowed a bear personally but I hope to change that soon.

    What do the more experienced archers have to say about, "the middle of the middle".

    Personally I will keep on aiming for centre and about 4-5 inch back from a straight leg. They seem to die really well so not changing it lol

    Yup, Rob Nye is bang on. Shoot for that green ball and you'll be skin'in bear.

    Very cool article. I always aim for the lungs, not the heart. This makes me feel even more confident. Imo I'm a big fan of quartering away shots. Will be trying to combine the two on my grizzly hunt this spring.
