"Maybe quite a few trained people can do it. Didn't I say that in IDPA matches, we found 30% of the top folks can beat Tom? "

Is this supposed to mean the top 30% of all IDPA shooters, or 30% of the top IDPA shooters?

If you identified the top shooters in IDPA as the top 10%, this statement would be saying that 30% of them, or only about 3% of all IDPA shooters could beat the time.
