I am prepping to hunt PA Black Bear next week with my Optima V2 in-line handgun. PA has expanded bear hunting opportunities more and more in recent years. It would be great to get a PA bear with the Optima.

I do wish you the best. It seems that since you cannot use dogs nor bait the success rate is tough.

I do hope you are successful. I know PA has some very large black bears.

Good luck!


It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Just worked things out with my Contender to do the same.

Good luck!
