There are two scores. Typical and Non-Typical on the B&C system. Of the other systems out there, they all break it down into these two catagories, but B&C is the most prestigous. Since you shot it with a muzzleloader, the scoring is still the same, but the minimums are lower.
For a typical score, it's going to be very low because of deductions. They want a perfect buck and the extra points on that side with two main beams will be all deductions. I'd say there's about 50 points in deductions, which might give you a net score of under 100 points. Gross scrore in the 150 range might be there, that inside spread is killing you.
There are allot of websites that will show you how to score a buck, but it's really pretty simple. Just measure the widest pointe on the inside spread. Then for each side, measure the length of the main beam. Then where each tine, including eye guards, start on the main beam, measure their length. Then at the smallest point between each point, measure the thickness of the main beam.
Everything is done in eighths of an inch. So if you get half an inch, it's really 4/8's of an inch.
Add up all your numbers and you have your gross score. You won't be exact, but you'll be close enough to know if it's worth your time to enter him. Remember that the experts don't always agree on this and if it's a top ten animal in the Record Book, they have a group of experts measure it together to be sure because there is so much inconsistancy between the measureres. Where that point starts on the main beam is open for allot of interpatation.
It's a very impressive buck regardless of the score. One you should be very proud of!!!! Congratulations.
