  2. We show that if a finitely generated group $$G$$ has a nonelementary WPD action on a hyperbolic metric space $$X$$ , then the number of $$G$$ -conjugacy classes of $$X$$ -loxodromic elements of $$G$$ coming from a ball of radius $$R$$ in the Cayley graph of $$G$$ grows exponentially in $$R$$ . As an application we prove that for $$N\geq 3$$ the number of distinct $$\text{Out}(F_{N})$$ -conjugacy classes of fully irreducible elements $$\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$$ from an $$R$$ -ball in the Cayley graph of $$\text{Out}(F_{N})$$ with $$\log \unicode[STIX]{x1D706}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719})$$ of the order of $$R$$ grows exponentially in $$R$$ .
