How did you come up with your user name?

[not on the rug]

not on the rug, yes that's me.

Very cool.  I thought the name was familiar

[JMR]

JMR is my initials. Jason Michael Ramsey. Yep, I'm not very creative...Lol!

[smag]

Some guys use to refer to the Command Sergeant Major "the Smag" my last name was pronounced Major and I was a Sergeant. Some of my recon Joe's called me Smag all the time.

[Guru]

Old softball nickname...

[hickstick]

When I first started making selfbows, the first tree I felled was a shagbark hickory...so I was making 'hickory sticks', I shortened it to hickstick.   

[Howitser]

Throuoghout my working life I've had a dubious diSTINKshun for odorous emmisions, while with a part-time construction crew I was awarded this nickname.

[Howitser]

Ben, great sounds,. Thanx

[Ben Corbett]

Howitzer,appreciated thank you. Trad shooters are cool people!

[captain caveman]

A friend of mine can’t fathom why someone would choose a wood bow over a compound.  He’s convinced I’m motivated by a desire to kill little deer with a clear conscience.  He came up with the name “captain caveman,” and I thought it sounded pretty cool and it seemed to fit here.

[Bigriver]

I may have owned a few Bigriver Bows in my life. I also help John finish his bows, plus the WI River(Bigriver) is my favorite fishing spot, seems like a no brainer.

[M60gunner]

I thought you had to have some special “code” name on the Internet. So, I did carry the M-60 in Nam while hunting people so at the time it fit. I go by TomM on some other sites, have mellowed some over the years.

[Hopewell Tom]

When I started my logging career there was a guy named Caledonia Pete who was supposed to be a "Paul Bunyon" type of cutter. We had a camp near where he was supposed to work and one Sunday I picked up a beat up looking guy hitchhiking back from town. He claimed to be  Caledonia Pete.
I figured if that guy had a name and legend, I could have one too. The next day at work, Hopewell Tom was born. All I got out of it was the name, no legend.

[trashwood]

 Built a lot of osage orange bows.  Stopped by a construction site to ask if I could pay something for a really nice osage tree they were going to cut down.  The Forman said well mr trashwood you can have if you cut it down.  Much to his surprise I went to the back of my pickup a fired up the chain saw.  Had it down in no time.  He hollowed to his crew,  “Boyz come help Mr Trashwood load these two logs.

Trashwood

[Tree Killer]

I used to cut trees for a living.

[tippit]

I needed a name for my new Border Collie pup.  I offered a case of beer to my fly fishing buddy who came up with the best name.  The tippet is the end of your fly line.  Even though I miss spelled it (tippit), tippit became my nickname, name of my forged knives, and a beloved pet.  Oh...we all drank the beer!

[styksnstryngs]

Guess.

[LBR]

Although I own and shoot recurve bows and self bows, my preference has always been longbows.  Way back when, the catch phrase was this or that "rules".  Longbowsrule took too much typing, so I shortened it to LBR.  That and pretty much all of my other monikers aren't fit for public viewing.

[Lil Bow Pete]

A friend and I were shooting our compounds at the local indoor range when I got the urge to try a recurve. I borrowed one from the pro shop and my thirty year journey began. After shooting awhile, my friend asked "hows that little bow Pete". We had a good chuckle. The name stuck and so did the stick bow habit.

That's how it starts for many of us, Pete! Welcome to TG!

[Wudstix]

Cause I shoot wood bows and wood arrows, I play with wood sticks
