For a 6 pointer you would measure the length of the beam from the center line of the g-2 to the end of the main beam and mark equal distances from the center line of the g-2 towards the tip for the h-3and that distance again towards the tip fir the h-4.
example: center of g-2 to the tip = 6"
h-3 taken 2" from the center of the g-2
h-4 taken 2" from the h-3
I do know that this is incorrect.....
There is two ways to measure a 3X3 and it all depends if it has brow tines or not....
If it has brow tines you measure H1-H3 the same as always and then use your H3 measurement as your H4 as well.
[/align]If there is no brow tine youtake the circumference measurement at the smallest point between the burr and "G2" and use this measurement as the H1 and theH2. Then take the H3 and H4 as normal.

Did you get this from a P&Y scoring manual?
Like I said, I'll look when I get mine scored.

On a side note...if you don't have either tape at home, we will sometimes substitute a string and then measure it out on a regular tape.
We???? Come on..... When was the last time you shot a whitetail..... With antlers [8D]You must be talking about road kill or sheds
I actually have friends that shoot bucks and I usually help them out. That is usually the only time that I get my hands on any antlers...when I am dragging their's out!! But thanks for rubbing it in...as if my buddies don't do it enough!

How would you score this point? As an abnormal or as the G3? I would consider it an abnormal point.......which I believe is correct, but I could be wrong.
You had asked weather this was an abnormal point or not? What I told you was correct. It is not an abnormal point. I talked with my P@Y measurer today when he scored my buck and by no means is that an abnormal point, I showed him the picture.

Steve,
Did you show him the pic of the tine from the other side of the mainbeam? If you look at it from the back, it does not come off the beam like a g# would.
I also have a stinking suspicion that if we asked 10 different P&Y scorers we would get 50/50 on the answer.

I showed him all the pics you had on here (3 I think)? I know he's right if it comes straight off of the beam. But if it comes off at an angle like your thinking, you are probably right.

I found my P&Y "hunters guide" the yesterdayand what I listed is the correct way to measure the circumference measurements on racks of these configurations.
There is no mention however on a spike..... If you would out of curiosity, could you still ask your official measurer the proper procedure for a spike?
