I think the key words there are "for guys that haven't done it before".

Neither 4/5 or full curl are particularily difficult to judge once you have some experience but for the novice, it can be intimidating. Most Alberta hunters have very little experience judging full curl rams and what many guys consider full curl rams don't make it by legal definition. It's big leap from 4/5 to full and as Rack pointed out, many rams will never be full curl despite being truely giant rams. This is especially true in southern parts of the province.
