Join 11-time National High Power Champion and noted accuracy specialist & firearms designer David Tubb as he takes on the Baboons of South Africa.

Baboons are a smart, cunning, destructive and dangerous pest in South Africa. They wreak havoc on farmers' fields and equipment, and viciously kill young goats and lambs. In the fall of 2009, David Tubb traveled with his family and friend Paul Dickerson to the Eastern Cape of South Africa to field test his new Dynamic Targeting Ranging Scope Reticle on these fast and elusive creatures. The revolutionary design of the DTR Scope Reticle allows shooters to track moving targets at varying ranges without having to come off the scope (and lose sight of the target) to turn elevation/windage turrets or consult a PDA.

In this 2-1/2 hour video, you will see these hunters take on Baboons at ranges from 200 out to 1000 yards and beyond, using Tubb 2000 Rifles in 6XC and .300 WSM equipped with Premier Reticle scopes with the DTR Reticle. Plus, throughout the video, David explains the theory and practice behind what makes the DTR Reticle so effective, and also the many factors (density altitude, slope angle, changing range and wind holds) that must be quickly factored into a successful shot. And, you will see the goings-on and fun "behind-the-scenes" as well as some of the local wildlife, including the deadly Puff Adder, on this extraordinary South African hunting adventure.

    First, in the interest of full disclosure, I am a Native Texan living in Florida, owner of two G. David Tubb-built hunting rifles, many time re-reader of his books, DVD's and user of various AR and M1A springs, firing pins with plans to buy future products. Plus, I have known the honor and pleasure of meeting David and members of his family appearing in this video at various shot shows and competitions, where I came by as spectator and to admire the rifle used in the Ultimate Varmint DVD. Second, fair warning: There is no disclaimer in this DVD which reads, "No Baboons Were Harmed In the Making Of This Video" although there is one deeply lucky Puff Adder complete with "cytotoxic venom" that the Texans allowed to escape, a thickly muscled varmint that David would have easily turned into a hat band if export laws would allow it. I suppose we can be thankful that the local safari club decided not to import the Baboons for this video, and traveled instead for two days to reach South Africa with their excellent rifles, ammo and superior DTAC scope aiming system. I am already waiting for "Son of Baboon" or whatever comes next because I can't stop watching this video when I am just hanging around the house, reloading, tying flies or in need of a smile to remind me of the finer things in life: Accurate Rifles, Beautiful Women, Steaks on the Fire, wildlife in natural settings, Technical Pick-up Trucks, and The Hunt.. This is not a classic - or stuffy - safari flick, and you will not see gun bearers, topless natives, and the usual African Saturday morning double-rifle toters. This is best described as some of the most challenging shooting on camera, featuring dangerous targets of varying size, speed, cunning and elevation, windage and toughness, where the DTAC reticle reins supreme in acquiring and terminating targets using the excellent Tubb ammo
