Shooter or not?

Saw Roadless' post and I thought to post up a buck I scouted up this weekend as well. He seems pretty low on tine length so far, but maybe he will add some length, maybe not... How wide do you guys think he may end up going? Shooter for you or not?

He's outside his ears and has nice eye guards. I would shoot but I'm not a big time trophy hunter. I guess like always it depends on what type of unit this guy resides on and how old the picture is.
 
I like mass and he seems to be lacking a little mass. I really like brow tines and he has great brow tines. He should finish out around 26 to 28 inches wide, it just depends on if he flares, goes strait up.or curves back in at the top. I'd let him go and look for a buck 1 notch bigger.
 
Thanks guys. I didn't have all that much time to scout my unit, only a few hours is all, so there are definitely other bucks out there which I have not turned up yet. Ill definitely be keeping my eyes open to try and find other more mature bucks. But I thought this buck, although he's still got short tines, that he may sweep out a bit more. He looked a little young still, so if I get an opportunity, ide most likely pass on him with hopes of seeing what he can turn into.
