\"\"<\/p>\n

Best of the West Productions (BOTW)<\/a> initially formed in 2003 as a hunting television production company, formerly known as Bridger Trails Video.\u00a0 Their specialty was long range hunting and the system of choice was a 7mm Magnum with a Leupold VariX 3 scope.\u00a0 As BOTW used these systems, they found various shortcomings and began developing their own high quality custom gun and a rifle scope that incorporates ballistic information in a turret-reticle design.\u00a0 In 2007 BOTW rolled out the Huskemaw 5-20×50 rifle scope with a custom calibrated turret that matched a specific load in a specific rifle to a specific elevation and temperature.\u00a0 This rifle scope was the first of its kind and, with BOTW proprietary software, was able to precisely calculate a bullet\u2019s trajectory in specific environmental conditions.\u00a0 BOTW could also precisely calculate the amount of wind deflection that would occur and give shooters the means of compensating for wind drift.<\/p>\n

The BOTW philosophy, which flies in the face of philosophies that have stood for generations, was not welcomed in the hunting community: (1) Bullet performance is more important than velocity; (2) Ethical hunting can occur beyond 300 yards and even at extreme ranges; (3) Compensating for wind drift is not a guessing game.\u00a0 BOTW television series was the means to prove all were wrong.\u00a0 They demonstrate time and time again that shots at extreme ranges are possible with this technology.<\/p>\n

As news began to spread, Best of the West emerged as the Long Range Hunting Authority.\u00a0 The success of the television series has led to the online retail store, LongRangeStore.com<\/a>, which carries gear featured in the show, and a custom ammunition product line, which is specifically for extended ranges.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Featured products: Huskemaw Blue Diamond 5-20×50 rifle scope ($1,349), Huskemaw Blue Diamond 3-12×42 rifle scope ($999).\u00a0Products can be purchased from LongRangeStore.com<\/a> or 130 dealers located across the country.\u00a0 A map of dealers is located at HuskemawOptics.com<\/a>.\u00a0Long range rifle systems can be custom ordered.<\/p>\n
