Personally, I don' t like the whole deduction thing. Symmetry is nice, but it shouldn' t be the greatest part of the rack. I feel the same about the spread.....it' s nice to see a wide rack, but can take away from the rack too. Example: If I shot an 8 point that was 21" inside you' d probably agree that it was a decent buck, right? Then I show you that rack with 3" G2' s and 2" G3' s and brows that hardly score. What do you think now? This hypethetical buck wouldn' t score well in either system, but you get my point.

Is a drop tine a deduction if there is only one? That would mean that no matter how symmetrical the rack is up top, it' s got deductions for a characteristic that a lot of people find pleasing.
