This series of measurements consists of 8 different variables that are named "A" through "H." All of the measurements are added together to get the gross score. The G measurements are the legth of the various antler points on each beam. G1 (or G-1) is the length of the first point, G2 the second, and so on and so on. The H1 (or H-1) is the circumference (or mass) and the first location where circumference measurements are taken, H2 is the second, and so on and so on. The letters are used to eliminate confusion (A - H instead of 1 - 8), because there are already enough numbers on a page when you start scoring a deer.

If the points did not have a common base, such as one point actually coming off the other, then one point would be abnormal. It's confusing, but I will clarify in an article later this week.

So why do they show a circumference measurement being taken between the G2 and G3? It would appear they have a common base. If two points have a common base then one of the points is non typical.
