Do you give your gun/bow a name?
I was reading the other thread about deer guns, & started thinking about the gun I hunt with. It's a Mossberg 500 camo. When I deer hunt with my cantilevered slug barrel & Simmons Pro Diamond 1.5x-5x, I call it "The Venison Viper". When I put the original camo barrel on it with my Comp 'n Choke tube for turkey season, I call it "The Tominator". In the short time I've had it, I've dropped the hammer 11 times on game, killed 7 turkeys & 4 deer. Yes, I love this gun.
I also had a .50 TC Renegade that I called "The Bull of the Woods", & a bow I called "The Whisper of Death".
Give us your names & any stories behind them.

I call my 30-30 the duke. When I rack that lever action and shoot I can just imagine the richochet(sp) from the old westerns;)

A few years ago I bought a Marlin lever action 45-70 which shoots a pretty big chunk of lead. Native Americans would often refer to an object of power as either good or bad medicine. After shooting a few rounds, my friend starting calling it Big Medicine.

I haven't found a name yet that seems right. I'm kinda leaning towards Maggie. It's a magnum and I'm particularly fond of Maggie from the Simpson's penchant towards firearms.
My brother has a 308 that he calls "Thumper".

My buddy has a favorite shotgun he uses primarily for rabbit huntining. He calls it "spreader" Its a barely legal however many inch barrel. The dang thing is short and sweet. Considering what it does to the game, he should call it "Shredder"
my rifle has two names,its either-way to go you beatiful doll,or or -why you no good mot%&*f%#K<$ piece of cast iron! depending on how the shot turned out!
One of my bows is named "the death of many", and the other is "the spirit of the woods".
