[QUOTE="Wingnut, post: 475159, member: 8721"] Being a former employee of both companies I feel I should give my 2 cents about this situation. I feel the break between Aaron and Mike, and the best of the west was inevitable due to many circumstances. One thing many don't realize is the cost of having a show on the Outdoor channel. For some reason sponsers think this is the end all channel for outdoor programming and without airtime on this channel it is very hard to get big sponsers. This meant all of the "profit" made by Gunwerks and Huskemaw went into the TV program. Not much left over for improvements. Aaron is a perfectionist and not being able to innovate and upgrade his products was pushing him to seek alternatives. I am in total agreement that the new "best of the west" is nothing but fancy graphics and commercials. They have lost sight of what got them there in the first place Long Range Shooting. I am glad to see Aaron and Mike's new show has several tech spots. I hope they sitck with the nuts and bolts of long range shooting and hunting. I am personally upgrading all my shooting systems to the new G7 because of the quality of the system. I am excited to also use the new BR2 rangefinder as well. I can't wait to see what Aaron comes up with next!! [/QUOTE]
