Oh, there's more:

"On October 6, 1999, while bowhunting in SW Montana, I startled 3
large grizzlies, a sow and two nearly mature cubs. All three bears
charged me from about 40 yards out, closing the distance between us to
less than 10 yards in little more than a second. The leading sow
continued her charge, head down, ears back, without breaking stride
while the two others hung up slightly behind her. I was carrying the
260 gram size of UDAP pepper spray on my right hip with the hood off
and stowed as recommended in your literature. I blasted a cloud out
between us as quickly as I could. Although by this time she was only
20 feet away, a cross breeze dissipated the oily, orange mist. I let
her have it again at 10-12 feet and discharged a final burst at 7-8
feet. The last burst nailed her square in the face and she stopped
cold. The angry bear then popped her jowls, shook her massive head
about and bolted over the rise from which I had just approached. The
two others followed right on her heels. Although the sow was fiercely
determined to attack me, I was able to effectively fend her off with
no permanent injury to either of us.
 
When I first moved to grizzly country I carried a .357 magnum loaded
with 180 grain cast core hunting rounds for backcountry safety. I
decided to switch to UDAP pepper spray after reading numerous personal
testimonies on your web site and I?m glad I did. Even though I carry
the largest can currently available, it?s still a weight savings of
well over 2 pounds compared to my heavy pistol. It?s non lethal which
supports my own personal ethics as well as faster and easier to deploy
than a firearm, especially under extreme duress. When not in the field
my new found guardian now lives on my night stand for personal home
security. I sleep very well indeed. "

"We were only about 20 feet from the tent when I heard the cubs squall
and scamper away. Suddenly, I heard popping teeth and a deep "Woof"
from the other side of the tent. Out from behind the tent charged a
very upset bear heading in our direction. I was leading the group and
to our luck was carrying your bear spray on my belt. I carried the
canister such that I could flip off the safety and fire without having
to remove it from the holster. This can of bear deterrent had been
with me for three years and had never been fired, until now. A fog of
the pepper spray zipped out towards a point somewhere between the bear
and me. The fog acted like a brick wall -- as the bear hit the fog she
stopped dead, turned inside out and sped away like a scolded dog.

My camp partners stared in disbelief. Our rifles were slung on our
shoulders and we were not prepared to shoot a bear. We had just
avoided an ugly incident, and probably days in the hospital or even
worse. My partners vowed never to go into bear country again without a
can of pepper spray on their belts. Thanks for a great safety
product!"
