To this day I am amazed that nobody was hurt, because the bow itself was 100% destroyed. Just utterly knackered.

I had a friend, a retired Army Ranger, who went bow hunting for bear in the mountains of Central Virginia. (Rapidan Wildlife Management Area)

He actually shot a bear. And then he said, he realized, that there was now a possibly really angry bear. And all he had for defense was a pointy stick. (Another arrow.)

Fortunately for him the bear ran off. It did die fairly quickly. He did find it, not so quickly. And then he had to spend a long time dragging it out of the woods.

After that, he decided that bear hunting was not for him.
