Alright it was like this,
I was lurking one night right after I found Trad Gang. I found a beautiful bow that I wanted and I wasn't registered, After trying several names that were already taken in desperation I saw my Taurus Raging Bull .480 still sitting on my desk from an afternoon shooting session. I shortened it and thus.....Ragin Bull
And just so you know......I still have the bow!  :biglaugh:

Mine came along in the late 70's.  I love to fly.

mine is kind of a play on words. It started out as MY Stik BOW but I decided to take out the spaces. Hence the name MYSTIKBOW. It is often mistaken for mystik bow but thats ok with me I'll answer to either one.
I reckon so

Way back in the old days when you piced up AOL discs in the grocery store with "free time" and took one home. I was doing something in the next room and my fried Ray was loading the software and came to the screen name part and he came up with it. Combination of first initial of first name with the first three of my last name and then 315 (which is what I was bench pressing at that time....way LONG time ago!) That has been my name everywhere so I can keep it simple. Thanks for asking...brings back some memories.

Mine comes from an old car dealership commercial: "Come see Cowboy Al at Festival Ford". I'm not really a Cowboy although I did try to chew snuff once, I still get squimish thinking about that vile tasting stuff!

Got the name "Stoney" from the Texas Sweat hunt from 05.  The short version is that I had the fortune to take a nice Javelina right at sunset.  Curtis & Charlie as well as others helped me on the blood trail.  When we found her, we also found a surprise and my screen name as well:


Look above her head, midway along the nose on the ground.
   


Close up:
     

I still have the stonepoint and always will.  I also still get chills thinking about it all.

Mine comes from one of my other interest. The 4 wheel drive Ford trucks of this era were often referred to as highboys, mine is a 1972. Hence the 72highboy. This was my first truck, it didn't look like this when I first owned though. It has taken a lot of work to get to this point and there is always more I would like to do. I hope I will always have it.

I tried using my real name when I signed up for Tradgang..I couldn't use just my name without adding something.  :banghead:  

So I tried bowhunterfrompast and it worked.

Now..the reason I tried this is because I have not bowhunted for the last 8 years after bowhunting for 27 years. Looking forward to getting back into bowhunting.

At our old house, I used to have friends and neighborhood kids over to shoot bows in the back yard. All the kids started calling me PaPaFrank...it stuck...
