    The best charging bear test I've seen!

  • @alfredoverno9674

    Knowledgeable, easy to listen to. So humble. Causally mentions.... "I had to use this shotgun to defend myself from a charging Moose". Bro... that qualifies you for the most ACTUAL self defense use of a gun. By ANY youtuber ive watched in years. you rock!!!

    Another great one Alan. In camp, I always have my AR-10 in .308 handy, and it would be my go to gun if attacked. It's not practical for hiking for obvious reasons, so that's when I carry the Springfield Armory XDm in 10mm. Thanks again for bringing us these videos.

    That’s great training and testing! A charging bear target is much more challenging.

    I would NOT gamble my life on small calibres, the bare minimum for Bears is 30-06. .223/5.56 do not penetrate enough to guarantee you not being mauled.

    12 Ga. all the way

    Great video again. Being a lever gun fan I loved the Savage 99, a true classic, but I must say that the shotgun and AR-15 won the show

    Very interesting. I am surprised at how much more accurate you were with the long gun over a handgun. After seeing a few of your videos I want to say I like your taste in firearms.

    I'm from Tennessee so I've never been around brown bears so if this question seems stupid ... Down here 00 buckshot is hard to beat at close range. Is it not good on brown bears or is the penetration lacking?

    I like the moving bear test. Most videos test ammo but not skill. About the only time a bear is not moving is asleep or dead. Good test. I think most of us need better skills and more practice. "Hold still while I get my gun out."

  • @joeberdeen5219

    You had me in stitches man. Hilarious bear cutout and great idea. I think I'll stick with my 45-70 lever rifle or my pump 12 ga too.

    I always have my Mossberg 590 Shockwave with me when I’m the woods. Full 12 gauge power that I practice with often. Shorter and lighter with Mossberg reliability. And just as powerful as a full size shotgun. Easy to whip out when tracking your kill of you get charged and with practice you’ll easily get 3-4 shots off in that timeframe. I’ve pushed it’s limit too and got all 6 rounds off as fast as some semi autos. Amazing little predator defence choice

    I live in the Everglades and the closet grizzly is thousands of miles away, but im enjoying this

  • @UrielsJunkDrawer

    These tests have really opened my eyes concerning the effectiveness of long guns/shot gun to hand guns.

    Just discovered ya, love your testing technique! Practical,logical, safe and humble!

    Definitely a good example of the speed of a bear charge.

    Up until the covid thing I worked as a range officer for DNR. We used to get guys who were going to Alaska to bear hunt show up to practice. I would give then a target at about thirty yards and four seconds to fire their best with whatever gun they planned to carry. None of them did half as well as you do. Of course they were mostly using something like 300 WinMag or bigger up to 577/450. It humbled most people, especially the hand gunners who couldn't hit dink with a .44 Mag when under time pressure.

    Great video's I watched both. 1 thing on 1st shot w/savage. I shot a 500# black bear in the same spot w/my 99 in 308. I hit the brow bullet stayed under the hide followed curvature of skull & connected w/spine destroyed about 1/2 or so of it. Bear bolted but I broke him down on the run, put him in the freezer. Every hit gives you the blink of an eye to send another shot. Be safe & happy hunting.

    Thank you so much. The semiauto 12 gauge with Holosun Green Dot & 3" Black Magic.
