I had a full sneak done for an archery 6 pointer a few years ago. I have it posed at eye level and it looks great. Up high, it looked stupid. Check out where it is now.

If it were me....and it's not...and I know this reply is late....however I did it I would want the right (looking at the pic, left side) main beam to be the one out in the middle of the room since the g3 on the left beam isnt as long.....idk technical names and it is probably what the others have mentioned

Well, I won't have to decide until about March. Hide was sent to California to be tanned and the taxi will start putting bucks together in March and April.

We were thinking that, if he is facing right (left when you look at him), he might look better. You'd get a better look at the side with the longer G3 and it would accent the longer mainbeam on the other side. Kind of like this angle:

I like Coomb's Classic forms..........Any of the Semi Sneak or Semi Upright with a little sweep and/or offset.
Put the strong side out.

Personally I HATE full sneak forms, and the only ones I hate even more are those head down aggressive specialty types. [] If I live to have 100 deer on the walls NONE of them willEVER be Full Sneak or upright w/head down. LOL

Maybe this will help you. My favorite (and most popular) is the 8400. Semi-upright, offset shoulder...

I like the semi-sneak, semi-upright, and the aggressive. It's kind of hard to say what I would go with on that buck though.
