"Statistical Outliers" - The 80/20 statistical rule easily applies to bowhunting. On average, 20% of the hunters harvest on 80% of the animals. That's a relatively small group of hunters with a lion share of the success.
Though we have no hard data, our experience teaches us the the 80/20 rule doesn't apply the equally to traditional bowhunting. For those "lucky" enough to shoot a stickbow, a hunters odds plumet closer to 90/10. Only 10% of trad hunters worry about packing & processing.
Then we have statistical outliers like Chris Parrino. Trophy whitetail, brown bear, cougar, elk, pronghorn, and turkey - Chris has taken up permanent residence in the traditional 10% success club.
Chris's arrow system of choice (statistical edge) - the GrizzlyStik full length taper.
I switched to the 650 system and all I can say is wow. I just killed another elk in gold beach Oregon. Full pass through and my other arrow angled and broke only because he hit the ground and snapped it.
This is actually the first animal she has ever harvested with her bow and the first time she has ever come to full draw on an animal. She had about a 15 yard shot and the cow only went about 30 yds.
44 yards with the grizzlystik 650 setup and a 200 grain masai broadhead blew straight through the entrance shoulder and exited the left chest of this bull he went 200 yards and piled up.
