No, you are misreading that:
In similar study on firearms (Smith et. al. 2012), they were effective 84% with handguns and 76% with rifles to stop bears from undesirable behavior. The study analyzed 269 bear-human conflicts in Alaska from 1883-2009.
This was a 2012 study. The data used in the study was from 1883-2009.
