Default Field judging racks

I was just wondering how/ if you all try to field judge the racks of the deer you see? I try to, and im getting alittle better now that im holding out for larger deer, but i still am not always that accurate. How do you judge a bucks score when you see him walking down the trail? When i was in texas, the guide i was with said for an averagedeer with a spread as wide as his ears ( about 16 inches), you can start with a base score of 80, then all you have to do is estimate the tine lenghts on one side and double it for a pretty accurate score. Unfortunately i never got the opportunity to field judge one last year and then actually put tape on one. Just curious as to your techniques.
