COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 17, 2007 I just received one.......kinda as a gift.........and it is still in the package. Have any of you guys used one? How accurate? How easy to use? Any tips? I know I will soon be finding all this out for myself, but just curious about it before hand. Thanks, JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 17, 2007 This one came with a DVD and makes it look fairly easy once you get the hang of it. I definitely would only use this thing for a fast rough score only......you probably could fudge it a little here and there by over-rolling, but you can fudge it a bit with a tape just the same! I bet you could get it really accurate if you take your time though! I will try it out later, JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 17, 2007 Alright.....I couldn't wait. Get this.......I took my time, did it exactly as the destructions said......and I was off by 1/8" from what I taped my Mexico buck at! I figured it would be way off but it wasn't. With a 1/4" tape and a bunch of guys in Mexico watching to make sure I didn't "fudge" the lines, I came up with 109 3/8 and this gadget just came up with 109 4/8" for B+C Gross Typ. and 102 1/8" Net Typ. It also gives several other scores.......B+C Gross Non-Typ is 113 1/8" with a Net Non-Typ of 109 3/8". The SCI Non-Typ is 113 1/8" with a 109 4/8" for SCI Typ.! It's almost scary how cool this thing is......if it came up with a score way off from where it should have been, I was going to sell it.........I think I will hang on to it.

shortpants Report post Posted February 17, 2007 How do you do the mass measurements? How much faster is it than using a tape? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COOSEFAN Report post Posted February 17, 2007 How do you do the mass measurements? How much faster is it than using a tape? For the Mass, you just pull out the hidden 1/4" tape measure.....wrap it around the smallest part.........click the set button and push the tape back in.....it reads how much tape was wrapped around the beam. I think you can accurately score a normal rack in half the amount of time, maybe faster, with this gadget! I think the neatest part is with the push of a button, you get any type of score classification you want, from SCI to Buckmasters! I don't know anything about Buckmasters, but it sucks..........my buck scores 99 4/8" under Buckmasters, why does it lose so much under that category?
