  Indiancharlie killed damn near a record bear in Canada a few years ago with his long bow. I think he is shooting around 65#. He said it didn't go far after he shot it.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

You see plenty of videos of the bears running away when shot. I saw a video that changed my mind about shooting a bear from the ground with a bow - it defoliated the area and stood my hair up. Someone else said .44 Mag backup. In WV you must have a concealed weapons permit and can not carry the pistol outside your clothing during a bow hunt.

California also  has the  most idiotic  law  of  denying  a  bowhunter  a  sidearm during  an archery  hunt, it  is  an  outrageous violation of  the  hunter  to  put  himself  in  harms  way  like  this

 All I can say if you want to follow your State laws, is to be patient and make that shot count. It seems to me if you are going to hunt a bear on the ground, or low stand with primitive equipment; you better be doing it for the adrenalin rush, and be good at what you are doing.

 I know that's the reason I'm going to do it.  :)
