What type of tape measure or methods do you use for measuring your spurs. Do you use a cloth fabric type tape or something like they measure deer horns with. a steel flexible cable, mark it, and the measure the cable length. Just curious what the best tape measure is.
I just use a tape measure I carry one in my vest :you_rock:
to make it simple.... a 25 foot tape measure....
Well that is what I use but all the measuring I systems show to measure along the outside curve and a big 25' tape just seems awkward to measure that curve in the spurs.... Maybe I'm measuring wrong..
I used to use a flexible vinyl style but I lost it so regular 12' tape now
I just went to wal-mart and bought a linen measuring tape. Their small and flexible so they fit easily in a vest.

A flexible tape that I bought for 99 cents at the local Hobby Lobby store.

:) if it can get me a few birds like that can you manufacture me one of those scoring setups and I'll get the paypal sent over today! Next day air please! :you_rock:
They make a small (1 1/2X1 1/2")metal tape measure that goes to 36" and the tape is only 1/4" wide so it's very flexible. Use it for scoring antlers, measuring fish and turkey parts. They're like $3 and I keep one in my tackle box and truck.
