I have a Marriah Thermal named "Good Medicine", a 56" Morrison Cheyenne named "The Mighty", and a Brackenbury Non-Typical called "The Rock".

"The Rock" is named for the chunk of turquois I asked Bill to inlay into the riser.

"The Mighty" is an ebony and osage bow and given the same nic name as my first old black and tan dachshund.

"Good Medicine" is named for all of the good karma and priceless lille extras that Ric added when he built the bow.

My shrew is simply "my longbow". If I was talking about another of my longbows I would specify but the shrew is my go to bow.

I just picked up a Hoyt Gamemaster2 that is going to be called the "meat grinder" It's kinda ugly and made of metal but there is no doubt it will put meat on the table....hence the name

My latest bow, and current absolute favorite, is "Out of the Closet". Aw, c'mon, guys... I know what you're thinking :^) It was made with closet lining cedar. All I said was that the name should have something to do with closets and my wife popped out with that. I'm currently working on another cedar bow for hiking and stumping. It'll be called "Walkin Closet".

Around Christmas time I recieved my 2008 St. Jude auction Sunbear. I have yet to shoot at an animal and miss. It's a 62# @ 30" that is quiet as could be. It's name is "Strict Nine".

I have a 60" Bear hunter Take down that is 70# @ 30" that I can target shoot great with all day long. When it comes to hunting, we have a hard time. It's name started out as "Flinger", but ended up as "Clutch popper". That story is a thread in it's self.....

Good luck,

Todd

I don't name my bows - weird ! But I named one special arrow - it was accurate from the start , flew perfectly , just could not break survived many impacts with tree's and rocks so it got called "Lucky" , she was hand planed Douglas Fir with a purple heart footin.

We have an advert on TV for an insurance company with a jinngle that sings - Your Lucky to be with Amy . So this arrow morphed from "Lucky" to "Aimee"

"Aimee" , won me plenty of places in tournaments then after 6 years I broke her clean in half - so I fitted a short section of 2117 alloy shaft and she became number one in a batch of 6 take down arrows .

She won me a few more places in tournaments and then I lost her too the bush arrow god . Figured Aimee deserved a rest and let her be .

My longbow is " Billy Berrue" after Ted Knight's wooden putter on the movie Caddy Shack. Knight pulls his wooden putter out of his bag and hugs it saying, Billy, Billy ,Billy don't let me down now.

My son will even say to me on the way to our stands, Huntin with Billy tonight!

This thread made me name my bow.It's a Habu triple carbon Vyperkahn now named """STACK"",because I paid one hell of a stack of money for it.

Here are the name's of my five bows.
St. Joe River Bow 'curve 60" 50lbs she is named "Honey" b/c she is so sweet
St. Joe River Bow, longbow, 62" 58lbs, his name is "Fred". Orginally the bow was named "Big Red" b/c the wood is all dyed red, however the named evovled into "Fred"
Robertson Styckbow, 62" 58lb 'curve, named "Lessons Learned" I have learned many lessons on shooting, hunting, and life while hunting with this bow.
Martin Super Diablo 60" 55lbs, named "Ol Two Shots". Seemed like I always missed the first deer of the season, with this bow, but always nailed the second hence "two shots"
Selfbow 68" 55lbs. This bow was made by a friend of mine. Its name is "SlowBow" It's sweet shooting, but boy is it slow.
