I see a lot of interesting and unique usernames. How did you come up with yours?
I’ll start: Mine is my first name. I like to think outside the box. 😆

Patrick- interesting topic- it intrigues me also. As to “HalfaHun” its because I’m half a Hungarian on my father’s side- aka Attila the Hun, Magyar and I pull a 50# longbow. If I move up in draw weight I’ll have to change my “nom de bow” to perhaps “60aHun” or whatever or since I’m 60 maybe “1/3aHun. I’ve found you don’t grow stronger as you grow older just more obstinate! Make do with what you have and what you can pull- any exteme Foc on 35# arrows?

Mine is my nickname from work – I’m a wellsite geologist, and look at drill cuttings (rocks) for a living.

Mine could be because I can never find the teapot, but no, I’ve always hunted food for the pot never trophies, if I ever get the opportunity of a large beast it is an unexpected bonus, and it happens rarely.

I met a medicine woman a while back and without even speaking a word, she came to me and called me a Standing Bear. Immediately after doing so she told me about how I had been protecting people all of my life and she was right. Those were the only words she spoke that evening, made me think, but again, she was right because that’s what I am meant to do.

Wow I like this thread, good one patrick. My user name I think has everyone confused. But of course there is a reason for all madness. My youtube user name is Guitararcher. Simply because I love my guitar and my bow. But when I tried to use it here it wouldnt let me, so I though for a split second and my prized bow, my 55 pound take down that I ALWAYs use basically, is the deer master by greatree. So there you have it, kinda like a user name I have seen before, bearbowman, I think he is a subscriber on my youtube channel. But I am a greatree archer, I would recomend a greatree bow to anyone, and they are cheaper, which is good for someone getting started. They do like to specialize in competition type stuff though, but they have a line of hunting bows. Anyway that is that, I like what I have seen, pothunter I laughed so hard when you said yours, what you said at the end is what I thought it was. All great names!! Again great thread!

Jesse- I admire horses-from afar! The last time I rode a nag it tried to scrape me off against a barbed-wire fence- at a full gallop- after my feet slipped from the misadjusted stirrups. Visions of my body hurtling through the barbed-wire like a cheese slicer! Guess I’ll just use the quads God gave me.
Good hunting-Bert

[Hubertus]

#51696

St. Hubert, patron saint of hunters. (Hubertus is the latin version, I suppose.)
My heritage and current church membership lie with a denomination that has historically shunned the veneration of saints (one of those lovely theological quibbles that makes everyone love religion, right?), but in the story of St. Hubert, I found the valuable lesson. The wilderness can provide a mere distraction from or a real encounter with truth. And since (as those of you who have read my other posts & threads know) hunting does not feed my family, I try to remind myself what tofocus on in the hunt.

Good one Patrick!
OK, a “snuff-or-not” is a cheap baffle for a motorcycle straight pipe. It is basically a small “pan” shaped piece of stamped steel with four 1/8″ holes drilled in it. The handle or tab goes through a 1/4″ hole drilled in the end of the pipe and is held in place by a spring loaded nut. It flips open or shut on an indexed washer. A very simple muffler, hence the name snuff-or-not. Of course I preferred my pipes wide open!
Now that was probably not what everyone was thinking about my handle, right?

[Carbomask]

#54119

I think carbomask is very mysterious, yet just teetering on anonymous. (ya right). carbomask is synonomous in my mind to my favorite thing to do is bowhunt and facepaint. Its just not the same without it. and, after using online for 12 years, its become my “identity”. its always interesting to see someone “recognize” me, I’ve met alot of facepainters you can imagine.

[LadyHawk]

#13342

Last fall I shot my first buck. He went 60 yards down wind of me and laid down. While I waited for him to pass, a hawk landed in a tree between us. The buck and I watched the hawk for 10 minutes before the hawk left. The buck started to notice my scent. He rose and came right back to me. I shot him again(this time low). He ran off. I went after him in 30 minutes but found him in a creek alive. I left him to die overnight. When I came in the am he was gone. I spent 1 month searching for him. I found out 2 months later that a man that owns the property he died on beat me to him and hid the evidence. Now everyday on my way to town I pass his head hanging from a dog cage.
It was hard on me. My 1st buck. Anyways, Ron LaClair deemed me LadyHawk due to my buck being named Hawk Buck because of the hawk that landed between us.

wow that is a rough story! Sorry about that, hopefully you can/have overcome that disaterous hunt!?

My first name is Bruce. So this is a shortened version. This is the first time I’ve joined a group or forum like this.I’m enjoying and learning a lot. Not very good with computers but my sweetheart of 36 years helps a lot. Lots of good people that seem very willing to help others!

[Bert]

#14122

Welcome Bruc!- What do you shoot and what do you hunt? By all means, check out the Dr. Ashby leathality studies- most of us are busy experimenting with EFOC on our missiles- anybody have a source for depleted uranium!? ( Just jesting Homeland Security, then again maybe not………..)

#14129

Thanks Bert. I have a 58# Fox recurve that I’ve had for awhile. At present I’m using a compound, sad to say.javascript:addSmiley(‘:cry:’); I want to be ready for next season with a recurve. I live in Southwestern Manitoba and I enjoy hunting whitetails and elk.

[Voodoo]

#14984

I’ve been Voodoo long before the internet, it has nothing to do with religion, but with my ability to breathe new life into discarded things,Cars,Bikes,Guitars,Bows,etc. I first got it 20 years ago because of my 67 ford truck, it had been used abused and left in a field for 16 years, it didn’t run or drive and had not one sraight panel on it, but within a year it had won it’s first car show and flamethrower show…..and the name stuck…… I still have my truck too.

BRUC, don’t be sad or apologetic about using a compound bow on this forum- check out Konrad’s posts. You won’t find a less judgemental group of guys and gals- we’re all archers at heart and tend to focus more on the arrow than on the launcher, on ethical hunting and sharing stories and info.
I have an old Bear Whitetail 11 compound that re-started my passion for bows- I call it my portable-nautilus-machine as the draw weight can be easily adjusted down to 35# to get those deep back muscles in shape. Currently I’m pulling a 50# 68inch PSE “Sequoia” longbow- for a relatively cheap (250 bucks) bow it works great.
Got to get ready as late season archery deer opens here in the PNW tomorrow and I get to amble bow and arrows in hand after the elusive black-tail- just hope and pray it stops raining. Who knows, I might find the longbow too civilized and revert back to an atlatl and sling!
Good hunting-Bert

#18288

Well, almost 10 years ago on one of the other start up stickbow sites, I started out with “LongbowHunter”. But then it occurred to me that half of us are all longbow hunters so I changed my handle to my name. On AT I’m still Longbowhunter. Most sites – SteveMcD. Besides I work in the IT Industry.. I got so many freakin’ userid’s it’s almost impossible to keep track of them all. Hopefully, I won’t be forgetting my name, any time soon! 😆

Mine came along in 1977 when I got my pilot’s license. I had a personalized license plate on my car and could use only seven letters. It fit because I love to fly.

This was my get-away machine. 1941 Piper J5A Cub Cruiser.

I took this picture of my skydiving instructor over Baxter Springs, Ks. in 1977.

Hi Dennis

I’ve always wanted to fly, did my principles of flight course and lucky enough to get about six hours in airforce single engine trainers as a teenager but got no further.

Nice aircraft, go on forever with a 1/2″ spanner and a hammer.

Bit concerned about your instructor, is he trying to get in or out:D

Mark.

#27204

Hi Mark.

I took the picture of Doc in freefall and was hoping for a picture of me too. I was kind of bummed because his camera malfunctioned and I didn’t get a picture.

The cub was a relaxing way to travel. With a small headwind you could watch cars pass you on the highway below. The only real excitement was some of the crosswind landings.:shock:

Dennis

[Mark Turton]

#27414

That would have been a nice picture.

Used to parascend with friends off the back of a land rover, great fun but a few scary moments running out of room.

My youngest son went to NZ and leant to free fall over some fantastic country, in fact he blew a whole years money in two months diving, bungeeing (if that’s a word) parachuting.

He told his mother and I that he was having a gap year before going to university, never did get to uni, to tame for him.

Mark.

My first name is Tom and I live in Wisconsin. Hope to bloddy my Indian Archery Recurve 40# circa 1965 before I die. I bought brand new back then but never really learned to shoot it until I two years ago when I bought the book, “Become the Arrow”.

[Lousyhunter]

#31947

Went to traditional gear in ’92. Have yet to kill my first whitetail with it. Also quit hunting with modern long guns then. I either use one of the flintlocks I built, or go with a revolver during the gun season. Hence, my descriptive name!!

[?ucznik]

#20375

On most sites my username is “lucznik” which is a slightly modified way of spelling the Polish word for “archer.”

When I registered for this site I decided to try and use the actual Polish spelling – which includes a letter that is not part of the English language. However, it didn’t work because, while I could type the letter into the registration form, the tradbow site can not recognize or display it so; it substituted a ? and thus, here I am now ?ucznik

[6arrows]

#20953

mine is due to the fact that my wife and son came up with a plan to get me my first brand new bow i started out with a compound that i found in a yard sale went out with it and practice for about 3 days then my friend told me i could go hunting with him i was good at 20 yrds he set me up in a ground blind isaw an eight pointer at 10 yrd drew and shot at him thats when i relized just how fast a deer can move he ducked my arrow so i set out trying to figuire out how to get a new bow after trying a dozen or so out i like the elite syengry my son was with me he told my wife and for x-mas they got me my first new bow made by elite i love archery so elitearchery is my name but the site here would not take my name so ilooked at my bow and relized that i carry 6 arrows on my bow so iused that instead.

[jaytbuzzard]

#21345

Since my name is Jay, I’ve been called Jaybird for as long as I can remember. I use to work with a guy that took it upon himself to assign everyone a nickname. Instead of Jaybird, he said that I worked at the speed of a Buzzard. I thought it was pretty funny. I adapted it for my username on all the forums I am on. I am new to this site. I am also new to archery. I have two bows that were my Fathers. He passed away a few years ago. The first one is a 48″ Bear Super Magnum. The second one is a 60″ Black Widow recurve. I have been having a blast shooting in the yard. I love this site and I learn something new every time I come on here.:D

[nybubba]

#21355

I’m originally from Nebraska and my wife is from Southern California. From the first day I met her she has called me Bubba. I look just like a bubba. Do to the military and various other jobs we have lived many different places so right now we are in Western New York. Thus hence “nybubba”
