What are the hooks called? I've been trying to find these to make a couple of armguards and can't for the life of me think what they are called.
Dang it's a bugger getting old. LOL

Mike ,
Don't feel bad, I can't remember what they call them either. The last time I got some was from the boot repair shop in Bozeman, Check the local boot shop, but I guess most Texans don't lace up their boots so they might not have them.
It take a special punch and gromet (sp) spreader to fit them properly too.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Wingnut, I've made a couple of armguards using buttons that are made out of fake antler sections. Those work pretty well.
Since Mike ( Mikes Archery Leather) made me one, I use it. Frank

I bought some at the local Veach's Saddlery. They were in a tiny plastic ziploc baggie with Tandy logo on it. A boot repair shop, saddlery, Tandy leather or Leather Factory store are all good places to look.

I've always bought them as 'Ski-boot hooks'
The speedlace eyelets are a little different.
However, YMMV.

I've got some I use for armguards... believe they are called Alaskan hooks. I'll check the box tomorrow and get back to you.

I too, would like to know where you can get some and a setter. I've been through the Tandy/Leather Factory site several times w/no luck.
