Scoring Credit System:

Picture Scoring Credit:

Buck Point Credit Scoring:
- Measurement requirements:
  - Minimum point length is 1" measured from the base of where the tine meets the beam.
    - Rounding up measurement is not permitted in 1" requirement.
  - Measure to the nearest 1/2"
    - Example:
      - 1.0" to 1.24" = 1.0" (Rounded down)
      - 1.25" to 1.49" = 1.5" (Rounded up)
      - 1.5" to 1.74" = 1.5" (Rounded down)
      - 1.75" to 2.0" = 2.0" (Rounded up)
  - A rigid or flexible tape may be used.
- Closeup photos of points not clearly visible or of questionable length must be provided if needed/requested by NJ Woods & Water admin/moderators. Please do your best, this rarely comes up as an issue.
- Spike bucks are considered to have only beams and therefore no tines and no qualifying tine measurements. However a spike with a left and right beam does qualify for spread measurements.
Measurement Guideline Videos:
- Measuring Inside Spread
- Measuring Tine Length
