Well when you are in the service and no one can pronounce your surname... They give you a nickname...
Slasher sounds a lot like it... so I became known as Slasher... Because of my German name, not for any psypathic homicidal tendencies....  Made my Dad and Mom real proud!!!

I cant seem to have enough Bigriver Bows, hence "Bigriver". Not very creative, but it works.

I have always salvaged feathers, points and sometimes shafts from broken, discarded arrows at various shoots I attend. I also use cane and ramin wood arrows quite a bit. So some of my shots are pretty cheap.

My grandfather's name was Poinsette Mallard.  He preferred "Pine".  I was nuts about him.  Hence   "pine nut"

According to the official history, the Xia Dynasty was founded when Shun abdicated the throne in favor of his minister Yu, whom Shun viewed as the perfect civil servant. Instead of passing power to the person deemed most capable of rulership, Yu passed power to his son, Qi, setting the precedence for dynastic rule. The Xia Dynasty thus began a period of family or clan control.

I like Chinese history, and myths.
“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.
