THE HUSKEMAW TECHNOLOGY The Huskemaw Optics Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) is a target style elevation turret on a rifle scope which is calibrated in yards rather than the standard MOA (Minute of Angle) clicks. By simply turning the BDC turret to the range in yards, rapid field adjustments for bullet drop at varying distances can be accommodated. Because the Huskemaw BDC turret is cartridge specific, trajectories are precise to that load in that rifle. Unfortunate for the consumer, not all BDC turrets are created equal. Some are so crudely constructed that they require tedious hours at the range determining the zero adjustments for all ranges. This creates a turret for that altitude, but leaves no provisions for the varying air densities one may encounter while hunting. While other turrets are naively created using a bullets manufacturer s estimated G1 Drag model Ballistic Coefficient (BC) and a muzzle velocity that is usually estimated at sea level. In summary, most Ballistic Coefficient/Velocity combinations produces BDC turrets accurate for distances of 300-500 yards. Huskemaw s method of creating BDC turrets starts where others have left off. First, an estimated bullet path, or trajectory, is created by our software through our web interface (HuskemawOptics.com) using the manufacturer s BC and an average velocity. A drop chart is printed and taken to a shooting range for completion. Correction factors are obtained by adjusting the elevation turret to the amounts specified on the data sheet for the particular target distances and shooting three targets at close, medium, and long range. It is recommended that the long range target is at least 70% of your maximum expected distance.

Huskemaw Long Range Optics Muzzle velocities must be recorded with a chronograph and all values are used to calculate the average. Measurements for altitude and temperature are also taken to determine air density. After a 5-10 shot group, measure each shot from the group center to obtain the statistical average of dispersion. All of these steps are demonstrated in your Huskemaw Optics DVD. The information from the completed data sheet is entered into the web-based BC Calculator. This proprietary software generates a Ballistic Profile (BP) which includes a modified bullet drag model and a true ballistic coefficient. This BP can be used to create precise BDC s for all air densities, form coastal bears at sea level to Marco Polo sheep at 15,000 ft. The added bonus that Huskemaw BDC turrets offer is compensation for wind which is present in most hunting situations. Wind will cause significant deflection and when shooting long distances, these effects are magnified. A standard bullet drop compensator, while being inadequate in bullet drop, makes no provisions for wind compensation. The Huskemaw uses patent-pending windage compensation technology and when applied to the Hunt Smart Reticle, it allows for rapid and precise adjustments dubbed the Rapid Field Ballistic Compensator or RFBC program. While taking big game at long ranges is possible with this technology, it is strongly recommended that much time is spent at the range to build confidence at extended ranges. It is the responsibility of each hunter to use the best judgement to ethically push the boundaries of long range hunting. At ranges beyond 1000 yards, the effects of several ballistic phenomena begin to show effects on bullet placement. If hunters are planning to shoot beyond these ranges it is important to fully understand ballistics. With this technology you can truly - eliminate the guess! 4

Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Owner s Manual PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Product Highlights The Huskemaw Optics 5-20 is the most advanced Ballistic Compensating rifle scope available. It includes a patent pending Rapid Field Ballistic Compensator and our simple, yet powerful, Hunt Smart reticle. The 30mm main tube, 50mm objective lens, and side focus parallax correction dial make the 5-20 scope an outstanding choice for both varmint hunters and target shooters, but includes special features for the big game hunter. Ballistic compensation and parallax adjustments are easily made without breaking shooting position and the 50mm objective lens creates a brighter image for high magnification and low light use. Huskemaw s ballistic compensation technology is the first to accurately determine the drag model and Ballistic Coefficient (BC) for your bullet in your system. The 5-20 is the first rifle scope built specifically to take advantage of a long range hunting situation, and the only scope with our patent pending windage compensation technology--anyone shooting at extreme ranges in hunting conditions without windage compensation is just guessing.

Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Owner s Manual WINDAGE AND ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS The factory elevation turret has markings and numbers that indicate clicks. The scope adjustment is calibrated to provide 1/3 MOA per click with 60 clicks or 20 MOA total adjustment per revolution. This allows simple compensation when your Range Card requires a certain number of clicks adjustment (for example 43 clicks at 800 yards). This turret is temporary and will only be used to collect True BC data for your custom RFBC turret. The windage adjustment, the windage turret is marked in MOA from 0-10-0. Turning three clicks left form zero will show one MOA and turning three clicks right from zero will also show one MOA. Figure 3. Click calibrated Elevation turret (0-60) 1/3 MOA calibrated Windage turret (0-10-0) Nothing is safe inside a half mile... 7

Huskemaw Long Range Optics FOCUSING THE RETICLE The Fast Focus Eyepiece allows for simple and precise focus control of the Hunt Smart Reticle. It is not intended to focus the optical system of target. The method of adjustment is simple: obtain a view through your scope with a light background of constant color (blue sky, or a painted white wall), then turn the adjustment ring (Number 8 in Figure 1) until the reticle appears focused with sharp and defined lines. To double check, look away from the scope and let your eye relax, then quickly check the reticle again for focus while keeping your eye relaxed. Figure 4. Unfocused and properly focused reticle ADJUSTING M AGNIFICATION To adjust the magnification of your Huskemaw Optics rifle scope, turn the adjustment ring clockwise or counterclockwise until the desired magnification is indicated on the power ring. 8 Figure 5. Magnification Ring (5-20)

Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Owner s Manual PARALLAX AND ADJUSTMENT Parallax is the apparent movement of objects within the field of view in relation to the scope reticle. You can check the parallax error of any scope by sighting an object at normal sooting distances and moving your eye side to side or up and down, as far as you can, keeping the rifle steady on the target. The apparent movement of the reticle in relation to the target is parallax. There is a great example of parallax error on your Huskemaw Optics DVD. To adjust the parallax on the Huskemaw scope, turn the parallax adjustment knob clockwise or counterclockwise until there is no apparent movement between the target and the reticle. For a fast, in the field adjustment, use the yardage calibration numbers to roughly dial in the proper parallax adjustment. Figure 6. Parallax error and parallax adjustment dial. Nothing is safe inside a half mile... 9

Huskemaw Long Range Optics THE RFBC TURRET Once the data has been collected and submitted for the custom RFBC turret, the turret will be etched and shipped for installation. Turn the factory turret to zero and remove the retaining screw. Remove the factory turret and place the RFBC turret on placing the 2 at zero then adjust the zero stop ring (Figure 7). Now you are ready to use your Huskemaw rifle scope to its fullest potential. Test your zero at the range and adjust accordingly. After the RFBC turret is properly adjusted, range the target and hold the cross hairs dead on to make a perfect shot. Figure 7. Dialing the RFBC from 200 to 725 yards 10

Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Owner s Manual WIND HOLD COMPENSATION Knowing the way wind effects your bullet s flight is the key to accurate long range shooting, unfortunately this science is beyond the scope if this manual. Refer to literature or the Internet for more information on external ballistics. Read the next section for a primer on wind doping. Your Huskemaw Optics Long Range rifle scope and custom RFBC turret used with the Hunt Smart Reticle is the simplest and most advanced system for windage compensation available. To correct for a crosswind, you must first estimate the crosswind velocity, and adjust your RFBC turret for the proper distance to target. In Figure 7 the bottom set of numbers indicates the distance to the target, and the top set of numbers represents the windage hold in MOA for a 10 mph wind at that distance when the magnification is set to 20X. In this example, a 700 yard target has a wind hold value of 3 - three minutes of angle wind hold. For a 5 mph wind, reduce the number by half, for a 20 mph wind, double the number. That MOA number corresponds to the MOA hash marks in the Hunt Smart Reticle. Just dope the wind, dial, and hold. Figure 8. 3 MOA wind hold @ 20X Nothing is safe inside a half mile... 11

Huskemaw Long Range Optics DOPING THE WIND Extreme range shooters spend their time studying wind - not drop charts. Wind speed and direction are the only variables that cannot be directly measure - not to mention rarely constant. The Huskemaw technology allows very rapid and precise compensation using a method of wind bracketing. This method is outlined below, and allows ethical one shot kills past 700 yards in windy conditions. With this wind compensation technology, you are only required to bracket your crosswind velocity as 0, 5, 10, and 15 miles per hour. This requires two determinations. First, you can estimate the total wind speed, then you need to determine the component of that velocity that is traveling across your line of fire. Determining wind speed takes practice. A wind meter will help you to learn the 5, 10 and 15 mph brackets. As you guess a speed, view the movement of vegetation and dust, then use the wind meter to measure. Repeated practice will allow quick adjustments for changing wind conditions in the field without using the wind meter. A 5 mph wind will be felt distinctly on your face, with vegetation (leaves, grass, etc.) stirring continuously. A 10 mph breeze will raise dust and blow around loose paper, seeds, etc. A 15 mph breeze will cause small trees and bushes to sway. To determine the amount of wind that is blowing directly across your line of fire, use the simple wind rosette multipliers to correct for wind direction. For example, for a 10 mph wind from 10 to 4 o clock, multiply by.75 for a 7.5 mph cross wind. 12 Figure 9. Wind Rosette

Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Owner s Manual Finally, with practice, mirage can also be used to determine wind speed and direction. To see the mirage, adjust your scope to 20X, and manipulate the side focus adjustment to focus on the mirage instead of the target. A straight up or boiling condition is not wind, the mirage tips at a 45 degree angle in a 5 mph wind, and mirage blowing parallel indicates a 10 mph wind. Mirage is handy, but like all methods of wind doping, only practice will allow satisfactory field use. Vertical - 0 mph 45 deg - 5 mph Horizontal - > 10 mph Figure 10. The appearance of mirage and relative wind speed. RANGEFINDING The advancement in technology for affordable, hand-held laser rangefinders has allowed the ethical deployment of the long range shooting system. The best way to determine the range to your target is use a quality laser rangefinder. There may be a circumstance where you may be without a laser rangefinder: forgot to pack it, dead batteries or it s just not working properly. A contingency built into the Huskemaw rifle scope provides an alternate method of range finding that will save the day. This method is based on the hand held stadimeter developed in the late 1890 s. By using the sub-tension of the Hunt Smart Reticle to bracket the game animal from back to brisket and, using known measurements, you can range the animal with the magnification ring. Figure 11 shows the measurement used for each sub-tension: first mark - 12, second mark - 18 and third mark - 24. The top duplex to center is 30 and the bottom duplex to center for a 36 target. Nothing is safe inside a half mile... 13

Huskemaw Long Range Optics Simply turn the magnification ring until the reticle fits right on the tope and bottom of your target, then read the distance to target in hundreds of yards. The only unknown factor in determining range is knowing the height of the target you are ranging. Fortunately, most mature species of game maintain fairly consistent back to brisket dimensions. Use this table as a reference. Figure 11. Back to Brisket Sub-Tension measurements. Coyote 9" Antelope 12" Whitetail 16" Mule Deer 18" Caribou 24" Cow Elk 24" Bull Elk 30" Table 2.

Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Owner s Manual SCOPE MOUNTING AND DATA COLLECTION Please view the Huskemaw Optics DVD for an in-depth demonstration of tools and procedures require for proper scope mounting. A general overview follows. To properly mount your Huskemaw Optic rifle scope, you will want the right scope rings, a torque wrench, a lapping bar with compound, a thread lubricant, and a reticle leveling device. Your optics retailer should have these items available for purchase. Check you screw holes on your action for debris and clean if necessary. Most ring and base screws are pre-lubricated; supplementing that lubrication with a commercial product is advisable. In addition to the threads, be sure to lubricate the shoulder of the screw that contacts the scope base. The proper torque will depend on the type and size of the screw. Contact the manufacturer of the scope rings for exact torque specifications. Most base screws will need to be tightened to 30-40 in/lbs to prevent loosening Rings will need to be tightened to about half of the value of the bases to prevent damage to the scope tube. A mild thread locking agent could be applied here, as the pre-load on the ring screws is not enough to positively prevent loosening. Figure 13. Mounting Tools Nothing is safe inside a half mile... 15

Huskemaw Long Range Optics RING LAPPING For aluminum rings, it s recommended to lap the bottom half of the horizontally split ring for at least 75% contact. For steel rings, lap both the top and bottom half of the rings. Lapping the rings increases surface contact for a sturdy, slip-free mount. Unlapped rings place large stresses on scope body and internal components. Figure 14. Lapping rings and Leveling scope. RETICLE ALIGNMENT When using BDC type compensation to shot extended to long ranges, cant and misalignment of the elevation turret assembly can cause significant error. A scope or reticle leveling tool will promote proper alignment before tightening your scope rings. Just follow the manufacturer s instructions. 16

Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Owner s Manual EYE RELIEF There is nearly four inches of eye relief available. Use as much as possible by mounting the scope as far forward as possible. It is also recommended to use rings that mount the scope as low as possible. This will allow consistent cheek weld and accurate shooting. BORE SIGHTING Before taking your first shot, spending a little time bore sighting your rifle will save a lot of time and ammo while sighting in the gun. Existing tools that facilitate bore sighting include collimators and laser tools - follow the manufacturer s instructions. If these tools are not available, use this alternative method: Set up a target at 25 or 50 yards. Set up your gun on a solid rest and remove the bolt. The trick is to center the target in the very center of the barrel. Try centering the circle formed by the muzzle end inside of the circle formed by the chamber and throat. Once the bore is centered, just align the scopes reticle on the same target. Take a shot and make fine adjustments. Make three shots at 100 yards and adjust as needed. Figure 15. Bore-sighting your rifle scope Nothing is safe inside a half mile... 17

Huskemaw Long Range Optics COLLECTING BDC DROP DATA Our True BC process requires you to provide several key pieces of external ballistic data to obtain the True BC, but once determined, the most accurate bullet drop compensating turret can be created, the windage-enabled RFBC Turret. After mounting the scope, the process requires several shot groups at various ranges to obtain a correction factor. The following key information will be required: 1. Chronographed Velocity (averaged from a minimum of 5 shots). 2. Altitude of collection site. 3. Temperature of collection site. 4. From a 200 yard zero, the drop in clicks for a mid and long range target. Your long range target should be at least 70% of your desired furthest range. Once this information has been collected, the unique feature of our process is that a Drop Compensating Turret can be created for ANY altitude and temperature. For example, if you are shooting your data at sea level and are planning a trip to the Rocky Mountains for elk hunting at 7000 feet elevation, a turret can be calibrated for that air density based on the BC collected at sea level. The less dense the air, the flatter the trajectory. It is important to use a turret that has been calibrated for your expected elevation plus or minus 2000 feet. However, temperature changes can offset elevation changes, therefore, A 7000 feet 30 degree turret will have very little deviation from a 5000 feet 80 degree turret. TRUE BALLISTIC PROGRAM A significant benefit to using our online BC Calculator is the drop chart, or range card, which can be created based on expected conditions, such as velocity, temperature, altitude, barometric pressure, humidity, wind and manufacturer s BC (varying bullets are available in a pick list). The Range Card displays a table by range with velocity, energy, wind deflection and clicks of adjustment for each range. Visit http://www.huskemawoptics.com and click the menu item to BC Calculator. Begin entering your information in the appropriate sections. 18

Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Owner s Manual Load Data Select your bullet from the list. If your bullet is not available, then enter your load description and the bullet weight. The manufacturer s ballistic coefficient will be used in another section. Figure 16. Load Data Figure 17.

Huskemaw Long Range Optics In the True BC Data Section the Ballistic Coefficient value will be retrieved from the selected bullet. If no bullet was selected, enter the manufacturer s BC to print an estimated range card or enter the Muzzle Velocity to calculate the True BC. The Field Shooting Data Section is used for correcting the range card after returning from the range. Enter the far range value and the clicks to hit that target OR the clicks from the initial range card and the inches a five-shot group average is from center. Press the Calculate button. A range card will be created in the lower portion of the BC Calculator window. Scroll down to view the range card (Figure 18). There are three options to change the units of measure for the following columns: Range - yards or meters (default: yards) Deflection - MOA (Minutes of Angle), Clicks (based on the click value entered in the Sighting Data section) or inches (default: MOA) Path - MOA (Minutes of Angle), Clicks (based on the value entered in the Sighting Data section) or inches (default: Clicks) Figure 18. Calculate and Range Card When any Alternate Path options are selected, additional columns will be added using the Path unit of measure. NOTE: The initial range card printed is for click estimation only. Once the true ballistic coefficient is obtained, the range card will be accurate and should match your range and click values. 20

Huskemaw Optics 5-20 Long Range Owner s Manual BARREL BREAK-IN The BC Calculator requires an average chronographed velocity as one of the components in order to create an accurate drop compensating turret. It has been our experience to find velocity variations as much as ±75 fps with the first 100 rounds through a new barrel. For this reason, it is recommended to shoot 30 to 50 rounds to stabilize the velocity before gathering data for the True BC process. There is much information available on break-in procedures, however, we have found this simple procedure until velocities stabilize: Shoot once and clean, using separate cleaners for carbon and copper, ten times. Shoot threeshot groups and clean five times. Finally, shoot five-shot groups and clean until velocities stabilize. Once velocities stabilize, then find a load that presents the tightest group. This is the basic, but important, barrel break-in and load development steps for precision long range shooting. INSTALLING YOU CUSTOM RFBC TURRET After you receive your custom RFBC turret, installing it is easy. With the original turret adjusted properly for a 200 yard zero and preventing the turret from turning, use a coin or case head to loosen the retaining screw. Remove the screw and lift off the factory turret. Install the RFBC turret with the 200 yard indicator mark coinciding with the mark on the zero stop ring. Replace and tighten the retaining screw. With the new RFBC turret installed, verify your zero at the range. Adjust the scope as necessary for an exact zero, and reset the turret to match. Figure 19. Installing RFBC turret. Nothing is safe inside a half mile... 21

22 Huskemaw Long Range Optics ZERO INDEX RING The zero index ring has a small set screw that locks its adjustment. Loosen the screw with the provided jeweler s screwdriver, and rotate it until it just touches your RFBC turret when set at 200 yards.
