| PERFECT
CATEGORY
A
Perfect rack is one in which every typical
point on one main beam has a matching
typical point on the opposite main beam,
and whose rack contains no more than 1
percent irregular inches of antler in
its total score.
A
Perfect rack is characterized by always
having equal and even numbers of typical
points. The Perfect classification is
the rarest of all antler configurations
among mature, trophy-class whitetails.
TYPICAL
CATEGORY
A
Typical rack is one whose total inches
of irregular points shall not exceed 5.5
percent of its total score. Any rack whose
irregular points constitute from 1.1 percent
to 5.5 percent of its total score is classified
as Typical. In addition, any typical rack
with an uneven number of typical tines,
even if there are no irregular inches
of antler present, will still be classified
as a Typical rack. A 9-point typical rack,
for example, with five points on one side
and four on the other, would automatically
be classified as Typical, even if it contains
no irregular inches of antler. The Typical
category is the most common antler configuration
among mature, trophy-class whitetails.
SEMI-IRREGULAR
CATEGORY
A
Semi-Irregular rack is one whose total
inches of irregular points range from
a minimum of 5.6 percent to a maximum
of 10 percent of its total score. The
Semi-Irregular category is the second
most common antler configuration among
mature, trophy-class whitetails.
IRREGULAR
CATEGORY
An
Irregular rack is one whose total inches
of irregular points exceed 10 percent
of its total score. The Irregular category
is the third most common antler configuration
among mature, trophy-class whitetails.
