RE: Boone and Crockett OR BTR ..which is more fair?
B&C does count the inside spread into the final score. Main beams length, all points (greater than 1", and longer than wide at the base), circumferences at bases and midway between points, and greatest inside spread all add up to the "gross" score with deductions made for asymetry. I like the B&C system better --- it's the gold standard and besides, the folks from Buckmaster's generally annoy me.
