"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.
