the best "nicknames" for bows

[Paul the Viking]

I bought my Brakenbury at the Western Traditional Bowhunter Expo a few years back.  I called my wife that night to tell her the news.  She told me our daughter took her first steps while I was off buying my new bow.  I wrote "first steps" on the riser the next day.  It's still there six years later.

My Fow longbow is "Sheaweke", which is "the time has come" in the Miami lanquage. I started kill'n stuff with this bow. My old BBO bow that blew up a few years ago was "Nihka" which is "friend" in Miami.

My son got me a hat about 8-10 years ago for fathers day.It said "BIG DADDY" So last year I had a bow made.I asked my son what I should name it. He said big daddy.And thats what was put on it.

My Caddo longbow earned a name.  Emma is 54#@ 28" and 62" long or 5 foot 2. whoo whee she was an ugly baby.  She had red hair and jaundice real bad!
She's made of Osage and Redheart so she has red hair and now she's got a golden brown tan.  Her curvy grip feels perfect in my hand. When she whispers, usually nothing sweet happens!  PERFECT!

If the new Martin Jaguar steps up and gets the job done in Texas in January, it's name will be "Javi Hammer", if it doesn't then it's gonna be "Vegetarian".

My old longbow is named "Snake", not because of the wood or the grain, but because that thing is as quiet as a snake.

I had Sipsey dip a Bear Montana in Predator Grey. I call it "bride of frankenstein". LOL

[Dick in Seattle]

All my bows have what I've been told are odd names:

- made one from cedar closet lining... "Out of the Closet"

_ made one from a layup that went sour and had to be cut in half lengthwise... "Lemonade"... made from a "lemon"

- made one from a situation where I had to make up a reverse form and grind the back off, then put on new glass... "Flapjack"

- made one for the Howard Hill Longbowmen... mamed "Arrowl Flynn" after the star of "Adventures of Robin Hood"

- last one I made I planed to use opage glass, but the elm wood kept telling me its grain would be pretty under clear, so it ended up as "Look at Me!"

[Keefer]

I have a Dryad hunter bowblank that I finished that is 43#@28"  and 64" that I named "Fair Chase" Bocote with osage riser and cocobolo tips ....Keefer's <")))><

Dick, I love your bow names! They remind me of Alfred Vanderbilt's whimsical names for his race horses. (Polynesian~Geisha = Native Dancer, Sword Dancer~Tea and Toast = Dundee Marmalade, Majestic Prince~Prime Time = Regency Period).

I have a name for my new Centaur, but that keeps mum until it is time. I had an arrow that I named Squiggy. Like in Laverne and Shirley. The arrow never seemed to be entirely straight, but it always shot true. I shot it at the wrong thing one day while stumping with my husband, and broke poor true-blue Squiggy. He now resides in the pocket of my quiver, ready to assess brace height with the calibrations that I have added to his cresting. Squiggy is dead (laid low by a flight of fancy of his lady-love     ). Long live Squiggy!!
