How did your handle come about?

[swampdrummer]

My favorite place to be is deep in a southern swamp. I also play primitive hand drums and instruments. Djembe,Dumbek, Didgeredoo etc. Sometimes those two things are combined and I play drums in the swamp. I also love to hunt turkeys in the spring and grew up calling them swampdrummers. It just seemed to fit!

[Bill Carlsen]

I don't see any need to be anonymous so I use my name. If I used an archery related one it would have to be something about "second shot".

[Squirrel Bait]

I have no idea! But I'm sure there are those out there that will tell!

[straitera]

Always appreciated the simple farm life growing up when a Man was as good as his word. I learned to shoot a longbow then. (Straight Arrow)

Mine is just my name.  didn't feel very inventive at the time.  I know,  boring.

Yep....just my first initial, last name....Jim Martin.

[Mr.Vic]

Once upon a time i used to work at a school. The upper crust insisted the kids quit calling me what i enjoyed, Vic. They said Kids should address you as Mr. Stickels. There isn't anything Mr. Stickels about me so i had them called me Mr. Vic. Has stuck for the last eight years.

[NoCams]

When making the change from compound bows which have cams to trad this was the first handle that came to mind. Sorta like the old saying, " Look Dad, no hands "

[dragonheart]

For me it is a lost dream I had.  There was a time in my life that I worked in traditional archery.  I had the idea of starting an archery supply and longbow company.  I was going to name my bows Dragonheart Longbows.  The name stuck as my handle, but the company never materialized.

              Life happened...

[DesertDude]

I live south of Palm Springs California, in the Desert. The Dude part is just a California term from when I was young.

[The Night Stalker]

it came from an old TV show in the 70's starring Darren McGavin. I just had to stop what we were doing and go inside to watch the show. The serial Killer Richard Ramirez stole it but I think they fried him so it is mine solely again. There are bows out there from the 80's with The Night Stalker on them somewhere....

[smokin joe]

I used to play baseball and I was a pretty fast infielder and base runner -- "Smokin" Fast. I also hit the ball pretty hard and was said to be "smokin them" when I was in a hot hitting streak. And my first name is Joe.
Thus we get Smokin Joe.

[bihunter]

I hunt on Block Island. bihunter(block island hunter)

[rastaman]

i've been a Bob Marley fan since my college days. i'm 56 now and still a fan.  Someone called me "rastaman" a long, long time ago and it stuck.

[Arwin]

It's my name!!!  

[killinstuff]

I really dislike the use of the word "HARVEST" when someome kills an animal while hunting. If we hunt we are trying to kill stuff plain and simle. Go "harvest" your corn.

[30coupe]

This is a thread we had a while back as someone else said. Still, I see some that weren't here then I suppose, so I'll explain mine again.

I started using this handle on some hotrod sites I like to visit. I have a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe that my dad bought when I was about four years old. Right now it is in pieces in my garage as I go through the lengthy process of converting it from antique to hotrod.

Rather than change, I just use the same old handle on every forum. Like my old coupe, I've had it too long to get rid of it.

[Craig Schoneberg]

Was born with it - has lasted the last 61+ years and hopefully will last a few more.
