Best of the West Productions is a video production company that started in 2003. It began with interests in long range hunting using a Remington Sendero and Leupold scope and later the Gunwerks/Huskemaw rifle system with Berger Hunting Bullets. Along with a Pro Staff of expert shooters, the shows have guest hunters, most from PBR and PRCA, that demonstrate the effectiveness of this shooting system at extreme ranges on North American big game.
