Bear drills for Drilling bears
Posted by Murphy on Mar 29 2006
Jake,
Oh, yeah, bears, good, in regard to your actual questions.
Several Two or three foot long wooden stakes (Vampire stakes or tomato stakes) some twine string and balloons, plain, simple, round, birthday party balloons. Your favorite bear gun ( Rifle of 338 Mag or larger loaded with minimum of 250 grain bullet, Revolver of 41 Mag or larger loaded with minimum of 250 grain hard cast, or 12 gauge pump shotgun loaded with 1&1/8 ounce Breneke slugs.)
Blow up the balloons to about 6 inches and tie off, cut two foot length of string and tie to balloon and the wooden stakes. Put the wooden stakes in the ground, five feet apart, in front of a good back stop. Shoot balloons from 25 yards away, three ballons in five seconds. The kids love this game, 22 rifles are great balloon guns but dads must use big guns. A little breeze is good but strong wind is tough.
When this is over and you find you really suck at it (humbling experience) you will see the handgun is your worst gun.
You asked how many rounds. Do you mean to practice or to stop a bear?
A bear can be stopped instantly with one shot in the "balloon" or two or three or five in the boiler. As for practice, take the amount of money you spend on the gun and spend that on ammo, shoot it up in good drill. Then shoot weekly (not weakly). You can use light practice ammo for the balloons, it's cheaper and you can shoot longer.
Good shootin'.
