regarding your G measurements, i know you always measure the outer side of the point because the "rule of thumb" is to to always give the deers antlers the most length. generally this is the outside of the tines, mainbeams and brows. im scoring a deer that has a g2 kicker that curves outwards away from the center of the rack, thus the "longer curve" of the tine is actually within the inside of the rack. my question is do you still tape the longer curve of the point even though that curve is on the inside of the rack?

You can choose inside or outside. Go with the longer way.Comment

If the point curves outward from the base of the main beam, you measure it from the inside of the point. This goes for any point off the main beam. Brow tines do this a lot!

From B&C.
The length is taken over the greatest outside curve. A tine that originates as a normal tine and then turns outward or away from the skull is commonly measured from the inside. It is always recorded as the longest outsides curve length regardless on its effect on final score.
