Default RE: Scoring Question???

The Pope & Young/ Boone & Crockett scoring is a process where the length of the main beams and up to7 tines on each beamare measured for length. The circumferance of each main beam is measured in 4 different places. The inside spread of the antlers is measured. This is added up and expressed in 1/8 in. increments. Then the length of any abnormal tines and any differences in dimension measurements between the left and right sides are subtracted from the total.
There is a worksheet that guides the whole process.
