RE: He will score net at the most 195 to 200 Boone and Crockett
I am a novice as far as scoring goes, so could one of you answer a question for me. I have a buck that was scored by an official B&C guy and it has some of the same problems as this buck. His mainbeams are shorter than his inside spread. So, according to the scorers, he does not get to use his inside spread score. I posted this question above and a couple of people responded saying that the spread credit reduction would be minimal. But, if you do not get to use his inside spread measurement, that would be a huge number. On the buck I had scored, they did not include an inside measurement. I know that it was quite the discussion among the scorers who scored mine. But, it seems to me that if this buck cannot use his inside spread score, than there is no way he would even come close to 210.
The other way I had it explained to me (on this site) was this way: Lets say the mainbeam is 20 inches and the inside spread is 25 inches, then you would only get credit for the mainbeam length, which is 20 inches on your inside spread score.
So, my question is, if the mainbeam is less then the inside spread, do you not get ANY inside spread credit; or do you still get inside spread scores, but only what the length of the mainbeam is? I have seen a couple of different posts describe it a couple of different ways. Thanks!
