I've always thought of bows as female and arrows as male.

Do you folks think the same? Or perhaps you don't think of bows and arrows as having gender at all? I know this is kind of a weird topic, but I'm curious. I can't help it!  O:)

Parnell:
I’ll refer to a bow as she without really considering it.  Never really thought about the arrows, but I bet traditionally most would agree.

Pat B:
I agree with Steve.

Eric Krewson:
Back when I named my bows they all had masculine names like Thor, Brutus, Thumper (not the rabbit) and such. I named one "goof-up" one time because I made so many mistakes when I made it. Never give a bow a disrespectful name, it will get even.

For me arrows are just arrows, not masculine or feminine.

I saw a bow in a magazine where a guy had printed its name in big letters all the way up the bows limbs, "Killer-Driller", I suspect the bow had put a lot of game on the ground for him.

upstatenybowyer:
lol Eric.  ;D
