The pistol was a Hi-Point .45, and while seven shots were fired, only one shot hit the bear.

Dude, you need some range time ... assuming your back deck is not 50 yards long ...

He probably hit the bear with the first shot. They can go insane with rage when hurt. They run about 35 mph.

Adrenaline wrecks your aim. That is why you need to practice, practice, practice.

“Range time” - I think a stationary silhouette target would be a BIT different than a 9 ft tall bear coming at you on your deck...

Well, he could have been slipping on something...

The old joke about a guy telling his buddy about a lion that escaped the zoo and was chasing him. The lion kept slipping going around corners. His buddy said "I'd have crapped myself if a lion was chasing me", the guy replied, "What do you think the lion was slipping on?"
