That's fair. I'm working off of the idea that you've shot 8-10+ elk or any big game animals in general. If you have shot 10 and lost 4 or more of those, there's a problem in there. It gets to a point where it's more than situational circumstances and becomes unethical. Of course if you've shot one and lost one, that can happen easily. Keep at it and learn from your mistakes if you can identify them.If you’ve killed one or two and wounded one that’s 30-50% wound rate. If you’ve never shot a bow you could answer 0.
I’d bet it would turn into more of a bell curve if you could only participate with 8-10+ archery elk harvests.
