 Presentation Grade African Shooting Sticks In order to gauge whether there was a market for this item, we donated our first set to the Dallas Safari Club in January, 2010. We put a value commensurate with the over 100 hours of art and engraving work that went into creating them and were interested to see what they would bring. Keep in mind that many luxury items went for far less than full retail in 2009 and 2010 so we were a bit nervous. When the bidding closed, the Leopard shown went for just over 90% of retail value. We were very pleased with the selling price. We felt if a stock piece went for that amount, people placing a custom order for their animal would be willing to pay the extra premium. Mark Petersen of New England Custom Guns does all the engraving work on these stunning creations. Mark beautifully restored the engraving on an old Drilling of mine a few years back and thus he was at the top of the list when I was looking for someone to handle this project. We had a handful of solid brass connectors made for this special offering and that is what he builds upon. First, he welds a Dangerous Game quarter rib with a Sterling silver border onto one of the top sections. He then adds a Sterling Silver border around the quarter rib. After that he builds up the image of your choosing onto this raised panel. The image is accented with Sterling Silver fern border band inlays for additional depth and realism. On the top and bottom of each solid brass piece he engraves elegant sterling bands to add interest. Available Models
