Every now and then, you meet someone who’s the real deal—Tyler Kopp is one of those people.
We recently linked up in true Western fashion—right in the arena—to capture some grit, some silver, and a whole lot of style. Tyler’s not only a rank bull rider with a serious handle on the chaos of 8 seconds, but he’s now turning heads outside the arena too with his new business, Rafter TK.
Yep, Tyler’s stepping into the world of custom silversmithing, and it fits him like a glove. From rings to necklaces and one-of-a-kind pieces, everything’s handmade, raw, and built to last—just like the guy behind it.
If you’re looking for custom Western pieces with meaning (and a little edge), Rafter TKcc is where it’s at.
This shoot was all gas, no brakes—dust flying, sun shining, and Tyler doing what he does best. It was one of those sessions where the photos practically took themselves.
Location: Arena dirt and cowboy sweat Lenox, Iowa
Mission: Showcase Tyler’s new brand, blend his story with his craftsmanship
Mood: Bold, authentic, Western to the core
If you’re into custom silver or just wanna support a cowboy chasing his dream, hit up Tyler @raftertkcc. He’s cool, he’s creative, and let’s be honest—you can’t get more Western than a bull rider turned silversmith.
This is just the beginning. Big things ahead for Rafter TKCC.
