Wyatt Frist “Never Give Up” Fundraiser

, ,

In March of 2021 Wyatt was in a severe traffic accident and ended up with multiple surgeries and a lengthy hospital stay. Wyatt is home now and continuing in his long road to complete recovery.

 Come join us for 2 raffles, a silent auction and GoFundMe to raise money for Wyatt!

 Join us from September 11-18, 2021, at the NMLRA Trap Range for a silent auction and raffle for some great prizes and on Wednesday, a special Calcutta shoot at 6PM.

Raffle #1 is for a custom-built muzzleloading pistol, a shooting box and a powder horn. Tickets are $10 each. 

Raffle #2 is for a “Barrel of Cheer”- an assortment of bottles of liquor, wine and beer! Tickets are $5 each or 6 for $25.

If you can’t join us those dates but would like tickets, please contact Amanda Weisel or Keith Fox. We take cash, check, PayPal or Venmo. Proceeds from these and the GoFundMe page go to Wyatt and his #1 caretaker and father, Robert Frist, for costs associated with the accident.

 If you can’t make it in person, no worries! We have a GoFundMe page if you’d like to donate and share. Follow the link below for the GoFundMe:

Tools of the Trade: The work of Chris Crosby

,

Seems like people just have a natural talent for doing stuff...making things. Things that aren’t merely functional, sturdy, more or less historically accurate and get the job done – things that look like somebody just ripped them out of 250/260 years ago and stuck ‘em right up in front of your face. Weapons, clothing, accouterments that grab you by your heart-strings and whisper; “Hey, you need to buy me – now”! My friend Chris Crosby is one of those supremely talented, tremendously motivated sort of craftsmen

The Longrifle Makers of the Salem School By C. Michael Briggs and Blake Stevenson : Book Review

The Longrifle Makers of the Salem School By C. Michael Briggs and Blake Stevenson : Book Review

In this book, Briggs and Stevenson demonstrate how the relationship of the Moravians to longrifles did not end with Andreas Hoger. Wachovia became a center of the early gunsmithing trade with talented craftsmen like Andreas Betz, Valentine Beck, and Jacob Loesch. The Salem rifle became a “gold standard” for early southern rifles that influenced the style of the non-Moravian craftsmen.
