The NMLRA is not associated with this auction, we are sharing to promote the cause and the artisans involved.

Presenting a collaborative long rifle accoutrement set by three artists; the entire proceeds of your auction purchase will be donated to StillBrave Childhood Cancer Foundation. 

Stillbrave's mission is to provide non-medical, supportive care to children with cancer and their families.  

StillBrave's Vision:  We are committed to helping the families of children battling cancer in any way we can. So while they are fighting the toughest war of their lives, we will fight their lesser battles, so they don’t have to. We are not only here to support children with cancer, we are here to help ease the burden of the family and the caregivers who are fighting battles of their own.

The StillBrave Set:

This collaborative ensemble to be auctioned features the efforts of three artists who work within the mediums of the Contemporary Longrifle genre.  

Eric S. Ewing, of Red Hook, NY, created a shooting bag made from a mix of textiles and animal hides.  Materials employed include vegetable tanned goat leather, linsey-woolsey coverlet, linen, antique saddle hardware, and of course bark-tanned raccoon hide.

Clinton Byers of Lenoir, NC crafted a powder horn, with simple homespun lines to compliment the style of the shooting bag.

Ian Pratt, of Peebles, Ohio, contributed a hand-made chain and tin-powder measure, accompanied by a vent pick.
