I scored this shed I found turkey hunting in 2009 this morning. It is my first time scoring so if I left anything out please let me know. I went off of a scoring sheet I found on-line. If I was in doubt I went down 1/8" to be on the safe side. The only real question I had was on the H4 measurement. I measured it at the narrowest point close to the tip as you can see by the photo. Not sure If I did that right?????? The score I came up with was 61 2/8" I made sure to stay on the conservative side of things. I really wish I could have found the other side! MAIN BEAM 22" H1 4 4/8" H2 3 7/8" H3 3 5/8 H4 1 5/8 G1 7 1/8" G2 10 5/8" G3 7 7/8"
Yep you're measurement is in the correct place, well done. My guess of 61" worked out nicely :D Good luck sticking him this fall!
Dam I guessed off by by 5" its a nice one I believe your last H4 measurement is centered between tip and G3 at narrowest point. but may be wrong!!

If you didn't look at Buckeye's scoring thread I'll give you a quick example here. On an 8 point you measure between the last point and tip of the main beam. For example If you've got 6 Inches from your G3 to the tip/end of the main beam you take the H4 measurement at the 3 Inch mark no matter what.
So what your saying is the measurement I took is actually smaller then what it should be because the half way mark is a little larger correct?
