I went through a resume building seminar once, and the instructor mentioned years of experience are often inflated to deter people from applying. She worked in HR for over 20 years and she said, if a job is looking for 1-2 years then it really means entry level. 5 is more like 2-3 years. I'm not surprised anymore nor do I let the years of experience stopping me from applying. Also, just a tip to those looking for jobs. Most places will bring you to the front of the list if you know someone at the company.
