My newest PLX is named "Ole Man". We were in an auto accident that jacked my back up so I dropped poundage for a while.

I have 4 bows which I named. Both came from the people who influenced me to get them and are special people in my life. The other 2 I appointed names at certain points in their life.

1st bow is named Dad
other bow is named Friend

I have a G&L Mantis, I call Preyer, kind a play on words.

And a Black bow named Ravenous.
Relax,

I usually wait a while and a name will come, or they earn it.. my PSA recurve is "mojo" because it has plenty... I have a longbow named "flat line" due to a defect in the limb lamination plus it fits it as a killer.. I have a PLV longbow that hasn't earned a name yet..

Some years ago I hunted with a heavy osage flat bow, 82#@ 26" it was a hard shooting bow that shot as good or better than any laminated bow so I named it "Bodacious". When I hunt out of state I like to have a back up bow just in case so when I was planning an elk hunt in Colorado I had another osage flat bow made that came out at 81#@ 26". It had a knothole in the lower limb just below the handle big enough to drop a pencil through, so I name it "Bo-Derick" On a scale of 1 to 10, it was a 10     ;)  

I ended up selling Bo-Derick and I still have Bodacious but it's too heavy for me now.

I have named a few couple of bows out of many I have owned. My first Hill bow became Purty Girl as soon as I opened the shipping carton. My Cheetah became Kitty Cat.

I named this snake backed osage bow made by John Strunk "Sidewinder" for obvious reasons.

Bows I've named have all told me what their name was. My Treadway long bow is called "First Blood" because I took my first trad deer with it in 1999. As I was recovering that deer the name popped into my head.

My friend John Lee made a bow for me and named it "Maggie" after my beagle that passed away.
