Why Gun & Trophy
Coverage built by people who insure their own collections.
Gun & Trophy is the Cushman family agency: collectors and competitive shooters who protect firearms and trophies for everything the hunt put into them. We wrote the coverage we wanted for our own guns, then made it available to yours.
“We insure our own collections.”
The Cushman family
Real hunts. Real trophies. The collections we live with and the ones we cover.
The Cushman family
We built this because we needed it too.
The Cushmans are collectors and competitive shooters. We insure our own guns and our own trophies, so we know what a serious collection is worth, and exactly where ordinary coverage leaves you exposed.
Larry Cushman started the agency. His son, Cole, runs it today, and you will usually reach him directly, sometimes from a hunt overseas. Same family, same phone, and the same standard we hold our own collections to.
When you own guns worth protecting, or a trophy that took years and real money to earn, a single line buried in a homeowner's policy does not cut it. So we wrote specialist coverage for firearms and trophies, with the cost of the hunt folded into every trophy's value, then backed it with a carrier that pays.
Why collectors choose us
Four reasons this is different.
The things that matter for our own collections are the things we built the policy around.
We insure our own collections
The Cushmans are collectors and competitive shooters who insure their own guns and trophies. You get specialists who actually shoot and hunt, sometimes answering the phone from a hunt overseas.
Primary, never secondary
We pay first on your owned guns. Your homeowner's policy, and your homeowner's rate, never enter the picture.
Radical simplicity
No serial numbers, no appraisals under $50,000, no itemizing. Prove ownership only if you ever file a claim.
