@John: I have done archery for 5 years now and I'm pretty good. I shot it in the eye which kills it immediately.

@Garland: It was some old knife we found there and I just threw it and got a lucky shot.

@Everyone else about the ballistic knife thing: I just threw it at the bear and it went through the eye. I just ran after that. When I said it "died," I meant that the wound was potentially fatal and it is most likely dead.
