ok iv never really been to hung up on score but id like to know how its done. i went to B&C website and tried doing it on there but im kinda confused. a g1 does not equal browtine right? it is the first tine past the brow tine rt? and do you count the end of the main beam as a scoreable point and measure it the same as you would any other point, or just as the main beam length? my reason for asking is i have 1 buck officialy scored. large 7 that scored 129 4/8. i have a massive 9 that i wanted scored. first time i did it scored 137 which i know is wrong judging it against the other. wider, longer tines, more mass, and more points. almost perfectly semetrical as well. then i scored it again and counted the main beam as a point and came up with 167, which seems closer to my origanl thoughts. so can anybody help clarify this for me?
Typical points. G1- Brow tine. G2- 2nd point. G3- 3rd point. G4- 4th point G5- 5th point. Main beam Is measured from the bottom bur on where the main beam starts and Is measured all the way to the end o the beam. Mass measurements. 4 on each main beam. Measure around the beam, not across. H1- smallest diameter between the G1 and the bur. H2- smallest diameter between the G2 and G1. H3- smallest diameter between the G3 and G2. H4- On an 10 point- smallest diameter between the G4 and G3. H4- On an 8 pointer- measure the distance between the very last point and the end of the main beam. From there cut the measurement In half and measure at that point. Inside spread- measure In between the rack for Its greatest spread. Add the total and you have the gross score.
ok thanks. i gota figure out what i did wrong then. i know the 9 is definatly more than 7 inches bigger than my 130" 7. it has 5 in" mass dwindling to 4 1/4 at the next to last diameter measurement. 10 in" tines dwindling to 9 1/2. 19 3/4 in inside spread. to me its huge difference in comparison. i think i gota watch somebody do it. even with the calculator i think i screwed up some how
I have the score sheet in a word document on the computer at my office. I can send it to you if you would like. All you have to do is follow the directions. Shows you exactly where to do all the measurements!
caveman, this has helped me alot. It should help you understand it better, too. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2529213&mpage=1
