That’s a real pretty bow, tDave. I like the burnished bits. Naming bows is most effective when you’re making your own, or buying new from a custom bowyer who will put your chosen name on. When I was building a lot of bows, each got a name. But they’re all gone now and the names forgotten. My twin Shrew Classic Hunters (except one is a take-down) are Elkheart and Elkheart Too. Some will catch the “clever” play on words. 😆 My ’68 Bear K-Mag has no name, and my beautiful snakey osage selfbow is named for the friend to gave it to me. Having our name, or any other name, put on a bow “permanently” is fun if we plan to own that stick forever, which we often do when trying to justify buying another bow. But how often does it turn out that way? An owner’s name on a bow, like a book signed to a specific person, doesn’t help the resale value at all. But hey, I’m not in this game for profit, as my long-suffering wife and tax returns can attest. 😳 I doubt that you are either.dave
