Archery

I think I'd like to name my bows. I haven't yet come across anything showing that Bedouins did so, but I've just dusted the surface of my archery research. At this point I just think it's a fun idea and I want to do it. (I'm not alone in this:  I asked the SCA Target Archery community on facebook, and a lot of people are responding with their bows' names. It's been very entertaining (and encouraging).

I have an idea in mind for a belt quiver based on one I saw at Mounted War Games last year that incorporates a piece of tack hardware. I also have a lovely short sword I've had for decades that I was told was based on a Persian design; unfortunately, its scabbard has no hardware for hanging. If I can figure out how to attach straps or rings without damaging the scabbard, that might be a fun project, as well. Because I need more projects. Because the SCA.
