RE: Measuring a rack at home. Second and final part of series.(lot's of pics)
For a 6 pointer you would measure the length of the beam from the center line of the g-2 to the end of the main beam and mark equal distances from the center line of the g-2 towards the tip for the h-3and that distance again towards the tip fir the h-4.
example: center of g-2 to the tip = 6"
h-3 taken 2" from the center of the g-2
h-4 taken 2" from the h-3
example: center of g-2 to the tip = 6"
h-3 taken 2" from the center of the g-2
h-4 taken 2" from the h-3
I do know that this is incorrect.....
There is two ways to measure a 3X3 and it all depends if it has brow tines or not....
If it has brow tines you measure H1-H3 the same as always and then use your H3 measurement as your H4 as well.
[/align]If there is no brow tine youtake the circumference measurement at the smallest point between the burr and "G2" and use this measurement as the H1 and theH2. Then take the H3 and H4 as normal.

Like I said, I'll look when I get mine scored.

Did you get this from a P&Y scoring manual?

Where I explained if no brow tine is present, it is even statedon the downloadable PDF score sheet for whitetail from P&Y.
As for using the H3as the H4 as well on a 6 point rack with brow tines, my P&Y measurer is whoprovided me with that information.

On a side note...if you don't have either tape at home, we will sometimes substitute a string and then measure it out on a regular tape.

How would you score this point? As an abnormal or as the G3? I would consider it an abnormal point.......which I believe is correct, but I could be wrong.

Steve,
Did you show him the pic of the tine from the other side of the mainbeam? If you look at it from the back, it does not come off the beam like a g# would.
I also have a stinking suspicion that if we asked 10 different P&Y scorers we would get 50/50 on the answer.

I showed him all the pics you had on here (3 I think)? I know he's right if it comes straight off of the beam. But if it comes off at an angle like your thinking, you are probably right.

I found my P&Y "hunters guide" the yesterdayand what I listed is the correct way to measure the circumference measurements on racks of these configurations.
There is no mention however on a spike..... If you would out of curiosity, could you still ask your official measurer the proper procedure for a spike?

I won't be seeing him for about 5 more days, but when I do, I'll ask him about everything we've discussed.
