Back when I first discovered trad archery was on the internet, the only site I knew of was the leather wall.  My longbow was new to me at the time and "thumped" my hand a little when I shot so I started going by thumper.  

Later, when all the arguing started to get bad, people hid behind handles all the time.  I got to where I figured I wasn't going to be like some who tried to hide their identity so just switched to my real name.  One thing I like about TG is that a real name is required.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

I use Spectre. It comes from Seaspectre as in Mark 3 Seaspectre patrol boat. I never rode them, I was a Seafox guy, but "fox" doesn't seem right----so Spectre it is.

I'm a bowfishing fanatic. Have owned 4 fully rigged boats now including a great fan boat that I should have never sold.
My boat at the time was an 1860 Lowe
I've always been a loaner when it comes to my hunting, so it's just a play on words....

The side of my 2070 Xpress now has LoweBow on it.

It is the name of my forge / company.  Ragnarok is the name in norse mythology for the battle between the gods and giants at the end of the world.  Being of Danish and varying norse, along with some scottish ancestry I figured I would use my past to name to forge.  The english version would be End of World Forge

In high school and college we seemed to always call our buddies by their last names rather than their first. I think everyone got tired of hollering "Westendorf" so they shortened it to "Westy" and it stuck.

I suppose my TG handle is rather obvious. Rooselk = roosevelt elk, which is the native wapati of the region where I live.

Ever since 3rd grade I've been called Cherox (after the Cherrox-boot) cause my mom made me wear a pair if there was sign of rain.. The older boys found this very amusing and started calling me Cherox, and soon my friends copied, and now (20 yrs later) most people (including my mother) call me that. So when i made my tag here, i tried to be normal and use my first name, Svein, and my last names' initial, D - for Dyrnes.
I do love a good nickname though!  :)

I live on a sailboat and a guy I worked with used to start crooning "Oh DannyBoats," to the Irish tune "Danny Boy" when I showed-up. So I became DannyBoats to the guys. When I signed-up here I just changed it a bit to better fit the theme.
