Here's the Records of Exotics instructions for their method:
THREE MEASUREMENTS PER SIDE This is a multi-animal scoring method that is primarily used on single horn sheep or goat-type animals with some exceptions. Specific animals include: AOUDAD (or BARBARY SHEEP), ARMENIAN SHEEP, BLACKBUCK ANTELOPE, CATALINA GOAT, CORSICAN SHEEP, HAWAIIAN BLACK SHEEP, IBEX, MERINO SHEEP, PURE MOUFLON SHEEP, MOUFLON TYPE SHEEP, RED SHEEP, TEXAS DALL SHEEP, TUR, and YAK. If a specie has several subspecies, the same scoring method is utilized for all. The score is determined by taking three measurements on each horn. The sum of all measurements is the score. No drying period is required. The length of the horn is measured by placing the end of the tape where the horn meets the skull on the top side of the horn. The tape should be held on the center (ridge) of the horn throughout the measurement. The tape should be wrapped snug around the horn from the base to the tip with no slack. The length is entered on the appropriate line for both the right and left horns. The circumference at base measurement is taken around the horn on the hair line with the tape pulled snugly against the horn. Each measurement is entered on the appropriate line for both the right and left horns. The circumference at 1/2 length measurements are taken at 1/2 of the length of the LONGEST horn. For example, if the right horn is 28 2/8 inches long and the left is 26 0/8 inches, then both the right and left mid-horn circumference measurements should be taken at 14 1/8 inches from the base. Once again, care should be exercised to insure that the tape forms a perfect circle around the horn and is snugly against it with no slack. It is not permissible to move the tape either way to take advantage of a larger measurement resulting from a ridge of the horn. Each measurement is entered on the appropriate line for both the right and left horns. Columns are sub-totaled at the bottom and the two sub-totals are added together for the grand total. Remember to convert the numerals leaving a fraction less than 8/8 and check your addition to make sure it is correct. Be sure to include a photograph with the entry. MOUFLON SPECIAL NOTE** For all entries in the MOUFLON PURE or MOUFLON TYPE categories, photographs of the animal are required. A photo should be taken from an angle that will show the horns from the front. Either category requires that the widest total width of the horns NOT be the tip-to-tip distance. For an entry into the MOUFLON PURE category, the animal must have the mouflon horns and the distinct mouflon coloration of a white saddle patch on its back, white belly, and black mane. This should also be documented in the photo. The MOUFLON TYPE category does not require the distinct coloration and any entries not documenting the proper coloration will be entered as MOUFLON TYPE. BLACKBUCK SPECIAL NOTE** On taking the length of horn measurement on a blackbuck, the tip of the tape measure is placed where the horn meets the skull. The tape is then extended until the tip of the horn is encountered. The tape does not follow the twists of the horns as it would when measuring a Catalina, but does flow in and out of the twists and is not a straight line measurement (see diagram). The circumference at base measurements are taken around the horn at the hair line. It is not permissible to back away from the hair line to take advantage of a larger measurement resulting from a ridge of the horn.
