At least somebody can do math!
I just got the offical score sheet back from P&Y and found out that there was a mathimatical error. The scorer accidentally duplicated the side to side difference between the g-1s for the g-2s. The g-2s were only 2/8 diff and he marked 1 6/8, therefore deducting an extra 1 4/8. Luckily someone at P&Y checks this stuff. They made the correction and gave me the correct score. No change in the gross but the net went from 156 1/8 to 157 5/8. :)
I normally don't get too excited about this but this has happened on 3 out of 8 so far. I'm afraid to check over the rest of them. I'll admit that I should have caught it, but when I checked it, I only added the columns then did the math. I did not check the side to side deductions. [&o] On another one, the guy gave my buck a smaller outside spread than the inside spread. I didn't check that either because that measurement is not included in the score (outside spread). Well, the P&Y guys did and they swapped the two numbers around and shorted my buck by over 2 inches. I never did anything about it.  On the 3rd one, the guy shorted one tine by an inch then gave the next tine an extra inch!  I figured that it all worked out in the end.:eek:These were 3 different measurers! I guess all I can say is that you should go over the entire score sheet before the guy leaves. Who knows...... you still may miss something! [:-] Has anybody had this happen to them? |

I once counteda 1'' tines as 8'' because I put 8/8 and just added 8''[&:] |

I had one error by and official measurer..... It was a mathematical error calculating the net score, inflated it by almost2 inches. P&Y caught it and corrected it.

Not yet it hasn't happened, after we measured my buck this year 2 of us double checked his adding and subtracting. He himself (The P@Y Measurer) asked both of us guys that were there to double check his adding and subtracting. Mistakes do happen, sounds like you've had some bad luck there Greg. Congrats on the extra inches you gained. Thats a hell of a buck Greg.

A guy can always use an extra 1.5 Greg. [X(] P&Y do a pretty good job of checking things over.

Yes I once counted a 1'' tines as 8'' because I put 8/8 and just added 8'' Ryan. |
RE: At least somebody can do math!
thats good you got an inch added, rather than an inch subtracted;)
