Does your bow have a name???
« on: August 08, 2011, 09:49:00 PM »
I have been trying to find a good name for my bow for months now, but haven't been able to fully settle on something.

I have never named an item of mine before. Haven't named any of my guns, or my motorcycles.

Only thing I have ever chosen a name for was my son. ;-p

I want to name my bow though...

What are the names some of you have given to your bow???

My newest bow, a KANATI, has been christened

PEPPER

After this hunting season I hope that will be upgraded to

 ***HOT PEPPER***

That is really cool owl. Really does look like a 'well endowed' mermaid.

Havn't named my new bow yet either. However, I have called it a few names when it shot and arrow where I wasn't looking....

Yea,,, I know,,, like it had something to do with that.

My first Massie Longhorn, all osage is named with medical terminology.
hemo = blood
thorax = chest  

Thus: Hemothorax or bloody chest. It seemed fitting.

please post images no wider than 640 - it's easy to have photobucket do this for ya automatically -  how to autosize photobucket images  - thanx!

My Hill is named "Joyce" after my grandmother
My Widow is named "Boanerge" meaning son of thunder, which is what Jesus called James and John
The next Hill I buy I am thinking of naming "Marian"  after Maid Marian of Robin Hood
My late Ford Bronco was named "Nadine" after the George Thorogood song of the same name.
My Tacoma is named "The Black Pearl", the paint is black sand pearl
I like naming my bows and trucks, kinda makes 'em part of the family.
Have fun picking out a name!

I have called my bows a few unsavory things, but have not formerly christened any.

Mike, I thought your bow of many colors would go in for a princess name, and that one could be called wormy or if you like the children's theme you could go with Lowly.  :p
