Spur Gauge/Measurement Tool?

[RutnNStrutn]

Spending as much as I do on calls, shells license and everything else Turkey related buying this was a drop in the bucket.

At the risk of belaboring the point (as well as being bored this morning), that picture demonstrates a circumstance where that product will actually work as intended.  Unfortunately, all,...in fact I would say "most",...spurs do not conform to the arc of that measuring tool.  In any instance where the curvature of the spur did not closely match the curvature of that tool, any "official" measurement taken with it would be invalidated in the scoring system.  Again,...clever idea to pilfer folks pocket books, but in terms of actual usefulness, it is of limited value. 

...And keep in mind, I still have "vest balancing" rocks for sale. ...Just restocked in advance of anticipated high demand!

I'm not against wasting money on turkey stuff. I actually looked at getting it. But I shoot a lot more that aren't hooked than are. I'm glad you pointed that out  Gobblenut. I'm gonna pass but.... I did waste some money on this to cool up my shotgun!!

I guess I really don't care enough how long spurs are to buy a "tool" for it, piece of string and a tape measure seem to work.

Heck, I just measure straight out from the leg. Never cared enough
to measure the curve. Tape measure for me too.

That's a nice subtle little bling on a turkey gun, I like it.

I think that little tool is good because it has a rigid nature that gives a consistent starting point, pressed against the leg bone, for your measurement. A tape measure is not ideal for that. If the spur's curvature is greater that the tool's, teeter it. The only way I think it wouldn't work is if you had long straight spurs on your hands, which has got to be rare. (This is when you post your 2 inch straight spur pictures)

 It's made by the same company that makes the Viagra Measuring Tool...easy to use but not accurate...but it has a very high customer approval rating....

I carry some of those bread bag wire ties. The ones covered in green plastic. I mark em off w a Sharpie in 1/4" increments. Flexible, accurate, and if I lose it I don't care. I carry em in a ziploc bag in my vest along w some orange newspaper bags & rubber bands to put over the Toms head. Keeps my  from getting covered in blood while carry him back tot he truck

Funny this thread popped back up.

I just bought one off Etsy. Carolina blue with white measurement numbers. I can't wait to see it and use it.

Measuring spurs with a tape measurement sucks. Y'all know we've got to measure the spurs for our 2023 team contest!

I have one, great little quick check tool, would not be for Official Scoring, we use the same flexible coated wire we use for scoring antlers or flexible tape for that.
