I ordered a John Mcdonald longbow. myrtle limbs with a cocobolo riser. Was wondering any suggestions what I should name it? Thanks.

I usually have to get to know the bow, learn its quirks and have a few adventures with it before it will tell me its name.  

I'm with Killdeer, I like to get to know my bow before I name her & I've got one that is rightly named..

Kill, that's too cute. Your not babying her too much are you lol.

Naw, she's a warrior.

i just got my first longbow
a northwind gem and named her MAY

That has got to be one of the most coincidental things I have ever heard of. Just uncanny!

Great story thanks for sharing that:)

It has been my preferance to develop a name for a bow after the birth certicate and we have had many opportunities to feel each other out. But namimg a bow after before birth is not always the case.

One of mine is named "Habunero" and my extreme confidence in Big Jim has me naming my expectant bow "Dream TC".

Thats neat killdeer.
