On this episode of the Bear Hunting Magazine Podcast Clay Newcomb is joined by Ryan Greb and Kolby Morehead in an in-depth discussion regarding archery & rifle shot placement on bear.

The guys discuss topics such as: organ anatomy, shooting 'middle of the middle', fat & hair, not shooting "low & tight", prioritizing getting two holes, blood trailing bears, equipment needs, fixed blade vs mechanical, pit blinds for bear, and kinetic energy versus momentum for evaluating penetration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
