The best charging bear test I've seen!
Thanks, I was really happy with how it turned out.
I concur. Living in North-Central British Columbia and only 18kms as a crow flies from the largest Grizzly bear sanctuary around, I never go anywhere in the woods without my Mossberg 500. Have not had to use it in a lethal way yet, but I have peppered a few bear with gravel to the snout after bearspray was ineffective, most likely due to the effects of the wind.
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."
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 live in the Everglades and the closet grizzly is thousands of miles away, but im enjoying this
That’s great training and testing! A charging bear target is much more challenging.
It makes a huge difference. It's hard to tell from the video but the ground is pretty uneven also. The target worked perfectly, very difficult.
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
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.
These tests have really opened my eyes concerning the effectiveness of long guns/shot gun to hand guns.
New sub.
Just discovered ya, love your testing technique! Practical,logical, safe and humble!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate the kind words.
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.
Thanks a lot! I imagine the AR-10 would do pretty well.
Glock 20 10mm with 45 friends is my answer
How do you like your SA xdm? Funny enough looking at buying one is what has brought me here as I also own a .44 super red hawk so these videos have been so eye opening
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
Thanks! Good to hear from another lever gun fan.
Your 30-06 with the 200 grain partition reminded me of an Alaskan bear guide who used to write for Bear Hunter mag - he got tired of his .375 belting him off the mountain and went to his 30-06 with that same load to back up his clients. It worked for him. My standard load for mine is the 180 partition, but I do have a box of 200's on hand, think I will work up a good load for them, too. Someone once wrote a book - Use Enough Gun. Use Enough Bullet, too! Saint Nosler showed the way. Jerry
I think the partition is a sweet bullet. My theory is that shot placement and bullet construction are more important than having a huge cartridge. They say the average shooter can't handle much more than a 30-06 without developing a flinch. Better to stick with an adequate cartridge that you can shoot well than have a rifle you are afraid of.
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 was too. Glad I am not the only one who likes old stuff!
Sight radius, the longer it is the more accurate you are
20 inch AR with 55gr loads is quite deadly
excellent comparison, thanks!
Thank you so much. The semiauto 12 gauge with Holosun Green Dot & 3" Black Magic.
That would work!
Just what I was thinking Rem 1100
Great video. Very informative.
Alan , outstanding videos on long guns n pistols. Well done n realistic!
Telling - short light semi auto rifle 7 shots, short pump shotgun 3, often used standard length lever gun 2, bolt gun 1 - dead bear
I just found your channel today; every video has been a treat! Thanks for making them.
Awesome videos!! Thank you for posting!!
Thanks you, glad you enjoyed it. This was my favorite one to make yet.
I love everyones ongoing obsession of charging bear scenarios and how to be prepared. I’m bringing my m&p 10 loaded with hot 308’s for bear country and a 10mm semi auto as a backup. If those don’t work, I’m drinking a can of red bull so I can hopefully just fly away.
Thanks for your videos, eye opening
That was another fun video to watch. Thanks for producing it.
Thanks, that means a lot!
Liked and subscribed, love your vids content. Keep up the great work bud!
So happy to find your tests and experiments. I lived in Fairbanks, AK for a few years and there was so much debate over caliber and such. Just plain hard to beat the 12 ga with slugs. It also shows the importance of being familiar with your gun and the need for practice.
I agree, best charging bear test out there!
Realustic & well done.
Great video! Some how I missed your handgun video, but I’m watching it now. I really enjoyed this.
Thanks a lot!
Great video, and a great test!
Great work Sir!
Thank you, it means a lot!
Your content is outstanding I'm glad I found your channel!
Welcome aboard! I appreciate the kind words.
Great information!
"Comfortability". A new word added to my dictionary! Love it! Great videos, very informative and realistic. I'm not exposed to bears much, maybe just black bears here in S. AZ, but it is making me rethink my woods gun choices.
Nicely done. Good to see folks putting in some training time.
Thanks, eye opening for sure.
My two most powerful long guns are either my Mossberg 500 firing 3 inch 1 1/4 ounce slugs or my yugo m24/52c rifle firing 196 gr Soft points. I would probably choose the Mossberg because of the faster follow up shots. Slide action is way faster than a bolt action. Nice vid
Thanks. I would pick the Mossberg too!
this and the pistol video are right on the money - well done with life saving info
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Another great video. Not exactly surprising but still eye opening. Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
very informative haven't seen a demonstration like this before 😊👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Glad you liked it!
Well done, looks like you both had fun, thank you!
Hell yeah Urban, keep up the great work!
Thanks I appreciate it. It's good to hear from you!
Brilliant work!! This video illustrates what we see in combat shooting exercises constantly:the long gun trumps handguns re speed, ballistic efficiency and accuracy all the time.,
Excellent video!!! You do a great job on these.
I’m not at all surprised by the results.
Maybe a little by the accuracy being so much better. I expected better, but not so blatantly clear.
Keep up the good work and thanks much.
Thanks a lot, its always nice when the results are this clear!
That was freaking awesome! Thank you Sir!🙏🇺🇸👍
Love you channel...Please post more. Would be fun to come up and do some of these tests with u...
AR10 sounds like an awesome choice too
You have really nice rifles!
Great video, very useful.
Thanks!
Another excellent video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video. While I don’t hunt Alaskan bear, I do hunt black bears in the lower 48. More specifically, three states in the lower 48. But I do 2-3 night backpacking hikes in states with Grizzlies, (Montana and Wyoming). For bear protection, I usually pack a Glock 20 or a Freedom Arms .454 Casull. However over the last 10 years or so, I prefer the Glock 20 better with 210gr hardcast lead and 30+1 rounds on me between two magazines in a Diamond D leather chest holster.
While I have some big bore rifles I inherited (Remington 700, 24” barrel in 458 Win mag, J.W. Marlin .45-70 guide gun), I do feel those would be too slow if strictly used for grizzly bear “protection.” In that case, I have brought with me on deep woods backpacking trips in grizzly country a Ruger Mini-30 with 20 round Ruger magazines, loaded with 7.62x39 Steel core FMJ’s, or my Springfield M1-A SOCOM with 7,62x51 in 20 round magazines, with 150 or 180 gr FMJ’s. The speed with a semi auto .30 caliber rifle with a high capacity magazine to the face, just can’t be beat. The steel core 7.62x39 is a deep penetrator! It crushes everything and would have no problem detonating a bears skull. My mini-30 while not the most accurate rifle, is very light in weight and allows super fast on-target acquisition against anything within 50 yards of charging me. Yes I know, it’s a “spray and pray” moment and I’d never use the 7.62x39 or 7.62x51 for hunting. But I’m talking about a wall of bullets (20) being dished out if necessary at a charging bear. They beat 5.56!
That shotty looks ideal.
That was so much information in 8 minutes.
He'd be in some damn pain if not fully incapacitated with that many hits to the skull face area from the 556
You got that right. I know of 2 cases where attacking polar bears and grizzly-polar hybrids were killed with a 556.
Great test.
Great Video!!!!
Well done. Big guns for big targets!
Great demonstration. I like the Mossberg 500. 👍
Thanks! Me too.
Fantastic video ❤
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.
5.56 on a AR-15 platform has been used, with success, on polar bears more than once. I would not recommend it, but this character I knew personally took several. Using the rifle with 55 grain FMJ. At close range.
I hunt in Texas wild boar with M193 no problem at all. I did use the same green tips 62 grain. I really don't think that any bear will keep changing at a person with 10 following rounds out of any AR platform or Mini 14 etc. That bear has to be made of AR 500 steel. Just my humble opinion.
Bear and his buddy watching from the forest.
"I don't know what this guy is doing, but I don't like the look of it, Kodi"
"Me neither, Ted... me neither..."
Excellant video, thxs
The local Ranch butcher uses a .22 Mag rifle loaded with CCI FMJ"s he drops beef cattle with one shot at 15 feet, one shot every time, they just collapse instantly. So, I'm sure a .223 FMJ will work just fine. Good test, thanks.
Great video with a nice ending! So nice to see an AR rifle for a change, way to many carbine videos out there. Amazing shooting. You are a talented outdoorsman and my money is on you with that Mossy 500!
Thanks a lot! I like that A1 style AR a lot. It's light reliable and simple.
I like this video sir, good job and great idea!
Thanks a lot!
Normally I think full auto is impractical for most serious use cases, but this is definitely a time when i wouldn't mind having an M16A1 with the giggle switch lol
Loved it!
Looks like a fun training exercise. I want to have a go at it too.
Its a lot of fun, and eye opening. If you have a safe place to set something like this up I highly recommend it.
Great video. Real world stuff right there.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Great video. I also REALLY appreciated the 10mm vs. .44 mag video. Power is good, but if you can't get a second shot in because of muzzle flip and double-action cycle times, everything comes down to the placement of that first shot. The rate of fire on the 5.56 was nice, but I'd want more energy than that for a big bear. You can inflict wounds that would eventually prove fatal, but the bear could still have enough adrenaline to cancel your ticket before his expires. An AR-10 in .308 might be better. Maybe a BAR in .30-06 or .300 WinMag? I'm guessing most folks wouldn't be carrying a SOCOM or Beowulf...
I'd love to see you do the sled test with pepper spray, too, just as a point of reference.
What an excellent video...
That's the reason why you oil your bolts it gives them a little bit of lubrication so they can cycle faster
One thing I would point out between the pistol test and this one is that you drew the pistols from their holsters but you raised the rifles from the ready position. Some people will carry their rifle in their hands while in the field, but most will sling them. That's an important difference in this test and anyone considering carrying a long gun for bear protection should really try bringing their rifle to bear from the slung position before committing to it. I have practiced it, and with the way I do it, I can do it very quickly but not as quickly as drawing a pistol.
My latest and greatest bear toy is a Ruger M44 carbine. It only holds 5 rounds of .44 Mag but it launches them at about 1900fps and being semi-auto it spits them out quick. I removed the scope and zeroed the iron sights for fast point and shoot target acquisition. It's compact and sleek and I can whirl it from slung on my shoulder into action very quickly... but not as quickly as a pistol.
You are insanely fast with that bolt. Very impressive
For those lever gun fans, just be sure if you go to Alaska get one chambered in 45-70 or .44 mag. .. a .357 or a 30.30 may not stop a grizzly with one or two hits.
I know a couple reputable characters who carry a 30-30 for that purpose. Probably about on par with a 44 at close range and better for further away. With that said I am sure it is more because of the light handy guns that the merits of the cartridge.
Good stuff and enjoyable. I like the way you created the charging bear speed. I've read they can take off at 30-35mph from a dead stop and reach that speed almost in an instant. Have you thought of doing this series again with some tweaks, perhaps one version with the long guns slung over your shoulder in a walking or hiking position and one version with the hand guns at ready already out of the holsters like you were with the rifles/shotgun? I can guess the results, but that may provide a more apples to apples comparison. I would also like to see you repeat it using inert training bear spray deployed at the same stage from a holster with the safety clip in place. I think I can also guess how that will go, but your setup would clearly demonstrate whatever happens.
Very informative. Thank you, sir.
You are having way too much fun now! Very nice realistic action.
Thanks a lot!
Awesome! Good job man! I want to try this drill again sometime!
Thanks Chuke! It was a ton of fun. I would like to see your WASR-10 against a target like that, bet it would do pretty good.
If I make it to Alaska I want you in front of me! Great performance. 👍
Thanks a lot! I appreciate your confidence.
Cool beans.That showed me all that I needed to know.Next on my list is the Smuth & Wesson AR10👍👍💪💪
Short of a real bear charge,you got as real as you an get simulation. Your shooting under time and duress is excellent and you need it where you live! Thanks for the well done video with real world,common firearms that lots of people own .
Good stuff partner. Fun videos.
Thanks!
Darn good shooting!
Dunno if its the sunlight, but thats a beautiful Mossberg. Also, oh yeah, long gun baby!
Thanks WOW THAT'S AWESOME
Appreciate your believe in Brenneke Slugs. New to your videos. May I ask which of the Brenneke Slugs you are carrying? I've heard good things regarding the Brenneke 2 3/4" Green Lightning slugs. Thank you for posting this video. Great example. Like your shotgun set up with the 5 Slug Stock Cuff. Overall good carry set up. I believe strongly in 12 Gauge Shotguns. Thank-you for your demonstration.
Great video keep it up.
Thanks!
You're making a strong case for auto loaders.
AWESOME pard 🤠👍👍
Thanks Bill!
I agree about the 44 lever gun I also think a 10 mm or even a 40 or 45 would be great
A great man once told me to "Shoot a charging bear in the nose." You can hit important things no matter how badly you miss.
* My firearm of choice would be a lever gun in .45-70 or a 12 Ga with slugs.(with a big bore hand gun as BUG)
Nice shooting for sure .
Thanks!
No bears in England. But enjoyed the video.
I found this video informative,I have not thought of a bear defense system , I do have pump action 18” barreled shot gun . What brand and load do you recommend to put down a raging bear charging at you?
Good vodeo because when a bear charges at you this how fast you are gonna be able to react!
Awesome presentation, great job comparing the different action types. Just wondering about how you "aimed" the shotgun, I see that you have ghost rings on it but was wondering given how fast and close the target was if you were able to aim with the ghost rings or if it was more instinctive shooting like when shooting clays?
Great question. I really like the big ghost ring because it naturally centers your eye and allows for fast instinctive shooting. I was looking through the ghost ring but I did not pay any attention to it. Focusing on the target first and on the front sight secondarily. Hope that answers your question.
Nice looking 1917, much nicer looking than mine. I can understand your feelings for your savage 99 too. The 300 is a great cartridge, although I have chosen the 308 for my own 99's. Either way, a wonderful, handy, and effective hunting rifle.
Good job! I’m surprised that there was such a huge difference between long guns and pistols.
I was too, I know there would be some difference but this was more than I expected.
Perfect! Great way to round off the comparison. I do carry a 357 but always have my 45/70 and Mossberg 500 with slugs near by. I was considering an AR rifle more for smaller animals but looks like it could be very effective for bear! Hey you did this test on a moving target AND wearing snow shoes! Can't make it more "realistic" than that! 😁
Thanks! Glad to hear you have some good long guns kicking around! Dang snowshoes make everything harder.
I've really enjoyed the videos he's done on this subject, in part because the treatment of the scenario is the same each time so the results can be fairly evaluated. Letting the bear get up some steam before he engages is a nice touch. As far as realism, though, there are some things that could be improved. In the test, the "bear" is coming at him from directly to his front, there's no intervening brush, and most of all -- he knows it's coming. He has the weapons in the ready position so he's an instant away from having the weapon mounted. So, while the conditions are the same for each test, the conditions are also optimal which is unlikely in a field scenario.
