The Boone and Crockett Club measuring cable set consists of two scoring cables.

• A six-foot cable, with a rivet affixed to one end and an alligator clip on the other, is provided for taking beam measurements where the starting point is found by hooking the clip under the burr. The alligator clip (or circuit clip) can be used to mark the end of the beam.
• A three-foot cable, with nothing attached to either end, is also included. With the end placed precisely on the baseline, this cable is used for measuring tine length. A circuit clip is included for marking the tip of the tine.

Note: The cable is not approved for taking any circumference measurements, spread measurements, or for measuring horn and tusk lengths. The only exception is that a cable may be used to determine horn length on musk ox.
