An Interactive score sheet follows these instructions, Please scroll down. The following are very basic and generalized instructions on how to score a typical deer's rack. This will not qualify you to score racks for anyone but yourself. For starters it would be good to understand the basic nomenclature of Buckmasters Scoring System.
Circumferences are the smallest measurement at each location.
It is established at the place where the point emerges from the main beam or another point. The Buckmasters Scoring System measures all the antler and credits it to the rack, there are no deductions. We measure the inside spread, the outside spread and the tip to tip measurement, but these numbers are not included in the total. We will take these measurements first as they allow us to judge the size of a rack without seeing it firsthand. Next we will measure the length of each main beam.
