in the rocky terrain here, they don't hardly ever get to 1.5" here, I have 10 sets in my beard case that are 1.375" but only have ever saw 1 bird killed locally that had an inch and a half long spur, he only had 1 the other was broken off, my last set of hooks

Are you guys measuring your spurs the way the NWTF does for an official score like this picture shows? If you aren't, you're shorting yourself a little!

normaly I do but measuring and photo'ing by myself its easier like I have the pic up there

Yea, I figured as long as you've been around that you would know how to measure and that photo was like you mentioned. My comment and picture was more for guys that are new to the sport and especially the ones that enter the site contest. Measuring them like the photo shows can get some added length, especially if they are decent and have some real hooks to them.
