scoring pop quiz

Which buck scores better:
Identical bucks with,

A 33" inside spread and 20" main beams?

OR

A buck with a 24" inside spread and 23" main beams???

The one with 23" main beams, but I'm still shooting the one with a 33" inside spread.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-17-05 AT 10:20PM (MST)[p]That would be one funky looking buck with 33 inch inside spread and only 20 inch mains. As for which one scores better, you need to tell us what the rest of the mainfame looks like. More to a rack's score than just the mains and inside spread.

Opps, now I see the 'identical' part

MTBullhunter70 · Aug 18, 2005

The 24" spread scores better due to the rule that the spread score can't count for more than the length of the main beams.

NvrEnuf · Aug 18, 2005

Here is the way I see it. If everything else was exactly the same other than the main beams and the inside spread then the buck with the 24" inside spread would be 9" larger than the buck with the 33" spread.

33" Buck
20" Main beams = 40"
20" Inside = 20" (inside can't exceed length of longest main beam) = 60"

24" Buck
23" Main beams = 46"
23" Inside = 23"
= 69"

Am I right?

The 33" buck loses 13" of bone because of that rule. Doesn't seem right to me. But it's not my club either.

I may be wrong and i am asking if anyone knows for sure, but i don't see that SCI has that rule. All their scoring form asks for is the inside spread of main beams. I don't see any mention of the inside spread not being able to exceed longer main beam.

Is this correct?

They would both score the same because you stated that they are "IDENTICAL".

kicker · Aug 18, 2005

UH? Identical, except for the difference of inside spread and main beams.

You know identical as in g-1's,2's,3's,h-1,h-2,h-3,h-4.

Every other measurement the same except main beam and inside spread.

Kicker,

The 33" buck doesn't lose 13" of bone, he just doesn't get to include 13" of air.
