Your Screen Name

Ray Hammond · December 25, 2009, 11:16:00 AM

I could tell you but it's a secret and then I'd have to hurt you!

Hooper · December 25, 2009, 11:28:00 AM

Hooper is just another name that we have called cottontail rabbits since I was little. My hunting buddies gave me that nick name because I love to chase the Hooper's.

Been shooting the air gap system for as long as I can remember. I know anytime someone uses the name "master" it sounds kind of cocky, but that's not what was intended. I just felt it glorified what I do best. I don't do alot of things very well but felt I could take advantage of that name at least for a while.

I wanted to join a forum in 1998 and they wanted a screen name so I chose a beer that was on a hat and T shirt I recently won, Red Dog. That was taken and the only thing close was "reddogge". I've been reddogge on every forum in all hobbies since 1998.

And no, I don't have red hair either.

Mine comes from the first ever Elk hunt with my Dad.
He was doing the acual hunting and I was just tagging along. I was helping him look for Elk through a set of binocs and saw a bull at the top of a ridge.
The sun was behind him and there was still some velvet on his antlers. It was a beautiful site that sticks with me after all these years.
I still look for another scene like that evey time I go up.
So going back to my ancestoral roots Highelk it is.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

Looper · December 25, 2009, 12:02:00 PM

Looper is my last name. Not too imaginative, I know. I've used it on several different forums over the years. Several years ago, I attended an outing for a golf forum. I found it amusing that the other members called each other by their handles, instead of their names. It was also incredibly confusing. I was almost ostracized for calling john897, john1975. Nerds.

Anyway, I was glad I was not the one everyone was referring to as "LongBall" or "PutterLover".

Bear1336 comes from my hero FRED BEAR and 1336 was my street address at that time.

Louisiana State Police for 25 years; 7 more to go and I'm done with 100% retirement!

Bent Rig · December 25, 2009, 12:14:00 PM

The Bent part - as in pulling a bow back & the bending of the wood . The Rig is the first 3 letters of my last name - hence Bent Rig .

artifaker1 · December 25, 2009, 12:28:00 PM

artfaker1 or art1faker, is a take on the idea of taking a derogatory name made up for you.
Like the Led Zeppelin, Gratefull Dead, the bikers with 1 percenters and so on.
The arrowhead collectors made up artifaker for flintknappers due to some people selling fakes for originals.
The one part was not intended to imply that I am the best, but just that I was the first to use the moniker.

cacciatore · December 25, 2009, 12:34:00 PM

Now I hunderstand,nice post this one. Mine means Hunter in Italian.

bigbowsh · December 25, 2009, 01:02:00 PM

Bowshier is my last name,I was the oldest and largest of 8 kids so the nickname bigbowsh was mine.

Margly · December 25, 2009, 01:26:00 PM

Mine is easy to:
My name is Ronny Margly Edvardsen so I use my middle name: Margly

Pat B · December 25, 2009, 01:40:00 PM

My name is Pat Brennan so Pat B is easy for me to remember. I'm Pat B on other sites too but I'm not Pat B. on TradGang that is the other Pat B.
No period in my handle

champ38 · December 25, 2009, 01:43:00 PM

My last name is Champion and I was 38 when I joined TG. Has nothing to do with my shooting.

Dick in Seattle · December 25, 2009, 02:38:00 PM

I started out using Dick in Seattle in hopes that someone local would notice and I might find someone to shoot with. I hadn't been in archery for 30 years and didn't know a soul. Got a shooting buddy for several years from it, but he moved back to Alabama this year. Also had a couple of guys come by to learn to build bows, so it's been a useful contact idea.

SS Snuffer · December 25, 2009, 02:49:00 PM

Shot Snuffers for many years but it was taken.
SS Snuffers are great too and work even better with carbon arrows. Snuffed alot of deer with Snuffers!

Highlandwarrior · December 25, 2009, 02:56:00 PM

I am decended from Highland Scots and my clan was known for its willingness to fight and not back down. I thought it was cool, but most people think its dumb :(

oddan · December 25, 2009, 04:24:00 PM

My oldest son and his friend sarted calling me "OUT DOOR DAN" several years ago. They said I was always gone fishing or hunting. So I became "oddan".

twitchstick · December 25, 2009, 04:41:00 PM

Mine was about the only thing I could think up quick,last name twitchell and I like most things that have do with sticks(fly rods,bows,and the hills). I find it funny because I have allways hated my user name. Most people that hang out with me usally find some kind of play on my name, Twitchfish, Twichingstick.
