Sounds like a C measurement. But could be a B depending on how he measured it. Alotof guys use the B over the C so not sure which he is talking about. If it was a C measurement then thats a pretty good neck for your region. If it was a B then its average. Biggest I had here in WI this year was a 25" B (maybe a 25.5 but put it on a 25") with a full swell which is about a 22.5" C. I find it hard to beleive that he did a deer with a 27" C measurement but I could be wrong. WCL
