I shot a black bear with one of my own Osage selfbows and a Woody knapped flint head.  Shot the bear off the Deli stand.  Thus my only named bow...Deli.  Doc

Have a Titan named {Trailer Leaf Spring} because that is what it looks like . Shoots great though.
Maybe it is time to shoot what I have on the rack

I don't name my bows but this reminded me of when I still lived at home, we used to name our cars. Over the years we had a Bonnie, George, Skipper, Rocky, my VW Herbie, and my Renault named Pierre.

The only one that has a name is a G.N. bush bow that I had refinished.I had "Adirondack Magic" on it; hope that I can make some with it.I do have a Dieters BBO that I won at JLMBH last spring,That bow really should have a name.....

My first longbow I named Kyrie Trenen, combination of my four children's names.  Now I need to get a bow with a mix of my grand kids names:)

My 58" Tim Meigs I bought off this site for $250 is now known as "Sugaree".  I'm a GD fan and boy is she sweet with a 2018.
