    There is the book by Norm Douglas. However there are variables which only an expert can gauge.

    It’s fairly simple to do a Sika and you will get it close enough with some basic instruction , flick me a Pm if you need a hand

    If it's that close, you need it scored correctly as a 200DS sika is not an everyday trophy. Good stuff.

    A point to note, sika brows are usually measured in length from centre of beam, not top of coronet like reds. It'll be the lesser length of the two you need to use.

    Well thats probably worth getting it scored officially being so close , we did a bush measure on mine at 199 1/2 and when I got it officially done it was 195 , so it can go either way though ...
