http://bowhunting.scout.com/story/1494352-the-formation-of-the-scoring-system Found this read on the origins of the scoring system most of use today. Found it pretty interesting. Especially the part where the said non typical animals or "freaks" as they put it shouldn't be considered anything but curiosities.
way back in the day when the score didn't mean anything, it was all about the meat.. BTW wonder what the one in the middle scored..lol looks like a clean 14pt...
