need name for bow

[Ian johnson]

I got a new grand river longbow with pau ferro riser, very light colored red elm limbs and a birdseye maple riser overlay, with red and black riser accents( like the red and black stripes in a black widow), I will be using it for deer, squirrel, and rabbit hunting ths year, what should I name it?

A bow usually needs to earn a name and when that happens you'll know what it is.

[David Mitchell]

I agree with Vermonster, a name should "happen" or be one that is meaningful to you, not somebody else.  If nothing comes to mind just yet, I bet it will after the bow and you have bonded and spent some time in the woods together!...Dave

[Dryrot]

I've always been partial to...Bob or maybe Cedrick...

[Plug]

How about "my bow"?  Or maybe "the grand river".

taking it to the woods this weekend, lets see what happens

[troutms]

How about "killer". Jeremiah sounds good too. I love that movie.

[Dustin Waters]

Kind of sounds like the feathers on a redtailed hawk, so maybe you could call it hawk, or something like that.  Red-tailed hawks have always been kind of lucky for me.

[Tom Leemans]

Some of my bows are named in the process of making them, while some get their name in the field.

[Can Hahaka]

My bow name and my tradgang name are the same - the traslation of Can Hahaka is "plenty Limbs" - Can Hahaka was a Lakota Sioux warrior that fought at both the battle of little bighorn and at wounded knee. Maybe you can find something from your past or from a passion. It only has to serve you - not others.

I kinda' like "Crawdad" for a Louisiana bow.  How about some of the local Native American words?

[Kip]

George no cajun or south Louisiana boy uses the word crawdad.Come to La. and I will cook you some crawfish in a gravy and boil some also.Ian the name will come to you I am sure.Kip

[George D. Stout]

Thanks for the invite Kip...I could handle some of those crawfish.  By the way....we also call them crawfish.
