It would certainly be a bite in teh shorts to shoot a monster deer, like near-record size, and then have it come WAY down because of a couple abnormal points.
This is EXACTLY what happened to Wayne Zaft (Alberta). He would hold the current world record for archery typicalwhitetail if it weren't for the G-3and G-4, I believe it was,having a common base. He lost a lot of inches because of deductions from this. If it were "gross" score, he'd be on top!!
