THE Hunting Heritage Trust and the online auction site GunBro ker.com are going to launch Treasures and Traditions, a weekly online auction to raise money to help preserve shooting sports.
Scheduled to begin April 2, Treasures and Traditions will feature a weekly online auction of classic and historic firearms, artwork, collectibles and unique hunting and shooting opportunities.
At the heart of the Treasures and Traditions is the concept that there are many dedicated hunters and shooters who have firearms in their collections, artwork in their attics or collectibles in their closets they would be very willing to donate to help ensure the future of our hunting and shooting sports heritage.
“The mission of the Hunting Heritage Trust is to harness the commitment of dedicated hunters and shooters to give back to the sports that have meant so much to their lives,” said Steve Urvan, founder and President of GunBroker.com. “And the mission of GunBroker.com is to help link the nation’s hunters and shooters with the firearms and accessories they need to make the most of their outdoor experiences.”
The Hunting Heritage Trusts mission is to provide support for innovative programs and strategic actions that will help perpetuate America’s hunting and shooting sports heritage.
More information on the Trust may be obtained by contacting the Hunting Heritage Trust, 1770 Bucks Hill Road, Southbury, Conn., 06488 or by visiting http://www.huntingheritagetrust.org.
