"RATIRONTAK" Mohawk word for "people who eat bark" or Adirondacks. If I don't shoot my first deer soon, I might have to eat bark soon with this economy!

Hey Spence, I remember that stave. I hope she still shoots for you.
I have only named one bow. John Scifres made a selfbow for an elk hunt we went on in '02. I eventually called it Ittai after one of King David's "mighty men" chronicled in 2 Samuel, 15:18-22. Ittai's devotion to David also describes my friendship and brotherhood with John.

I call my GN fireball, Invictus. The poem with the same name became my platoons battle cry in Iraq. It means unconquerable ,or invincible in latin and since every time I think I've got my shooting figured out, I find something to improve, I figured it fit.

Someone once told me that a bow has to earn its name. The ones I have right now, currently have no names.
However, I am having one built that will be marked "Wood Runner" on the limbs because, it will be the bow that I do most of my running around in the woods with when I receive it. The others will just have to bide there time and find there personality.

I have a 60" Pronghorn that's been owned by at least two folks before me.
The name on the bow is "Jim Johns", so that's what I call him.
