Field judge like a pro. HornScore turns your iPhone into a scoring tool. Whether you're glassing a bull at 400 yards or green-scoring a buck on the tailgate, HornScore gives you the numbers — and shows you exactly where they came from. Version 2.0 is a complete, ground-up rebuild. Native. Fast. Designed for iOS 26. THE FIELD JUDGING SUITE HORNMATCH — Compare to real animals. The fastest way to judge an animal is to put it next to one you already know. HornMatch searches real scored animals — your own, the curated HornScore Library, and the community — and lets you filter down by score, total points, mass, age, and rack configuration until you find the match. Save your estimate as a range, or carry the comparable's measurements into the calculator and refine from there. HORNCALC — Break down every number. A full scoring calculator with live net-score computation, typical and non-typical racks, bilateral measurements, and deductions you can actually see. Species guides and anatomical references are one tap away, without leaving your score. Pull a reference animal up side by side and copy its values in. HORNTRACE — Measure straight from a photo. Set your scale against an anatomical reference of known length, trace the measurement on your photo, and get an estimate. A guided walkthrough gets you through your first one fast.
