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.

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 just went to wal-mart and bought a linen measuring tape.  Their small and flexible so they fit easily in a vest.

Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.

I have a special measuring tape.  It only has 1.5" for spurs & 11" for beards marked  ;D

It goes with my scale that starts at 25 lbs  ;)
