Have noticed a lot of personalized things written on bow limbs (name, message, etc). Am wondering what Biblical scriptures you have on a bow, have seen on a bow or think would 'fit' on a bow. If you have any, post the scripture and the references.
thanks

Genesis 27:3
Psalm 91:5. I wrote the verse along an ipe lamination using a quill pen and India ink on the BBO I built:

S0me archery-related Scripture passages:
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. --- Genesis 21:20
But God himself will shoot them with his arrows, suddenly striking them down. --- Psalm 64:7
As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth. --- Psalm 127:4
There are others...
Genesis 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
Genesis 27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow,and go out to the field,and take me some venison.
Psalm 37:4
God bless,Mudd
This is not hunting related but is a Proverb that I have repeated to myself many times in my life when things happen that I don't understand.
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
I named my Black Widow "Boanerge", which is what Jesus called James and John from Mark 3:17 meaning "Son of Thunder".
Isaiah 40:31 has always been a favorite for me. Psalms 118:8 is also one of my favorites and of course, my signature.
I use the King James Version, sounds poetic and solid.
God Bless,
Nathan
I just read this verse this morning and thought it would be an appropriate Scripture on a bow or in an archery related signature.
"But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God...." Genesis 49:24
"In His name"
I'm not sure, this may not be a scripture verse, probably a phrase one says in closing to prayer.
A friend of mine put on most of his "all-wood" bows.
I have John 3:16 on mine.
I have a JD Lund Mojo Stick and a Howard Hill Black Badger, both have "Crosses" in the riser. That worked for me.

I just like to use a favorite verse wether it's archery or hunting related or not.
I do love how 4est done his!
Stiks
Jim Jones, bowyer of Firefly bows, puts James 4:14 on all his bows..."We are a vapor for a little while that vanishes."
A part of Matt 23:39... and a few others places...
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
In Hebrew it is common as baruch haba beshem adonai.
" The Father, Son and Holy Spirit"
God Bless, Pierre
They shall mount up on wings as eagles
I have John 3:16 on one of my longbows.
Cool stuff here, I'm getting a bow made up, you are giving me ideas guys !

Raging Waters,
I have to know what your signature means---"Jesus did not tap!" Forgive my ignorance on this. I've been wondering what this means since I first read one of your posts.
Thanks
Roy

I was also wondering, but was to shy to ask.

I saw this on a friend's tee shirt, and asked him what it means. He explained that he was in martial arts, and when someone is down and wants to give up, they tap the floor and the other person is supposed to let them up. The saying means that Jesus doesn't give up.
Maybe it has something to do with the "knock and the door shall be opened". Thus implied to being assertive and confident. Just a guess.
GREAT stuff!!! I'll bump it for the evening people. Like one of the replies, i'm hoping to get a custom someday and wanted ideas - keep 'em coming
while i'm at it, how 'bout Psalm 16:8 "I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
best regards to all

Dan,
I am a Martial Artist. I started Boxing when I was 12 and won Golden Gloves when I was 14 and 15 in San Antonio TX. I have fought many times, mostly in the ring. A bunch of wins and some losses. I have a few Black Belts and one in Gracie Brazilian JuJitsu.
"Tapping Out" is to say "Uncle" when you are being choked to death and can't say "Uncle". Or when someone is about to break your arm or leg and you can't scream "Uncle" due to the pain.
I have "Tapped out" many men and, also, I have been "Tapped out".
Jesus did not Tap! He endured all our pain and all our sin. JESUS did NOT TAP!!!!
By the way, I am really a nice guy at heart. Really, I swear! I just like to throw leather whenever I get the chance.
Here is my Howard Hill Black Badger Cross

This is just good stuff here, it really blows my mind the spiritual side many have in this hobby, makes me feel good to be part of this. I used to be a closet Christian, I have slowly matured (very slowly, I'm 48 and just coming out of the closet) seeing everyone here express themselves this way has helped me come out of the closet, now I want something on my bow ! Very good post !
Dan
Its great to see all of the people of faith on this site! I guess it should be no suprise that traditional bowhunters have their heads screwed on straight...no pun intended! :)
Acts 10:13. "Arise, kill, and eat" for me it can't get much better than that. If I can find a picture or take one of my bow I'll post it.
One of my favorite verses
Ecclesiastes 9:10a
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might...
Psalm 19:14.RC
TTT for the morning crowd. Anyone else have one to share?? Re: Dan D - thanks - great post. "Whatever you in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father."
thanks again to all who posted
Matt Green
Although I have never been a devout "Church Goer" I am a solid Christian and have never made any secrets about it. Far too many times in my life I could have been dead and forgotten about if it weren't for God's intervention, I also believe he sent angels to look over me in the worst of the worst points, I honestly believe that with all my heart and I'll share my stories with anybody who ever cares to listen.
Mine is right under all my posts in my signature..........
~Varitas Vos Liberabit~ John 8:32
"The Truth Shall Set You Free"
That's going on my next self bow, probably my first take down laminated Osage bow that I'm working on right now.
Psalm 86:11 will be on my next bow.
I have 2 sets of limbs for a BW SAIII 1one is 66# and the other 76# I had them refinished by Black Widow and since they weren't made for me originaly decided to have " Praise The Lord " written on both .
I had the 23 Psalm on my first custom but havent' put any on my others. I might put a verse on my next one!! :thumbsup: Jason
not a scripture but a prayer that i put on all my bows: "Dear Lord grant me wisdom in where I choose to hunt, the endurance to see it threw, guidance for my arrow and my soul amen"
I bought a used bow and to my surprise it had "Revelation 6:2" written on the lower limb. The verse doesn't have a special meaning to me like some of the other posts on this thread but as a Christ follower it was a nice surprise when I opened the package when the bow arrived.
.....but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 16:25
Did this thread get taken down for a moment and them put back up?
I wrote "Patience is a Virtue" on two of mine .... :)
Isaiah 40:31 and Proverbs 16:9...Matt love the crosses in the riser!
Great post Matt,
I found myself looking for this as the first post I wanted to read when I checked in tradgang tonight, I will keep looking this one up as long as people keep posting !
Dan
Terry,
I was thrilled when I asked Craig Ekin if he had any Christian silver inlays. He said, "I got a Silver Cross". I had know idea what it was going to look like. I was more than impressed with the style of the Cross. I couldn't be more pleased.
Thanks to admin for letting us post this.
GOD bless all of you.

Matt, that bow you have pictured is a silver inlay ?
Very nice ! Thanks for teaching me about the tapping thing !
Dan
Dan,
Yes, Craig inlayed a Sterling Silver Cross.
The bow is good for Werewolves and Vampires, too!
Matt

matt Green
I don't have scripture on my bow but I made a cross from the osage in my bow and hung it on my back quiver. An everpresent reminder.

Great! I read your sig all the time and keep wondering if it was that kind of "Tap" what you mean, Im a fighter too! just not active anymore I did had one fight in Texas back in 03 at an event called "Renegades Extreme Fighting"
It was good reading all the scriptures all of you shared.
:archer:
I looked up all the references last night and feel right with the world this morning.
Thanks GOD!
I know this is a fairly old thread, I ran into it a while back. I just ordered my first custom bow from Maddog Archery. A couple of years ago I ran into a verse in 1 Chronicles 8:40 that says " The sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor- Archers" . So I asked Mike to put that name and reference on the bow . The bow is going to be a 60' longbow(my first) 48 lb @26
(http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii322/Blackstick-photos/Bows/IMG_0188.jpg)
ttt!
I have Genesis 27:3 on my custom longbow and will always have a scripture on any bow I custom order. The next one will be the scripture in my sig.-
2 Timothy 1:7. For God hath not given me a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind!!
None on any of mine . . . though sometimes I suspect a part of Exodus 20: 3-17 is there somewhere:
"Thou shall not kill"
