Default Control Throw Measurement

When measuring control throws with a control surface deflection meter, is it best to take measurement at the widest part of the control surface or somewhere in the middle of the control surface? Let's say that I want to measure the deflection of the rudder on a P-51 Mustang. Do I take measurement near the bottom of the rudder where it is widest or in the middle?
