I have one similar to yours and one from Mike's Archery Leather with elastic laces - I use both of them.  The elastic laced one is the quickest to put on. [/b]

I have one from Mike's Archery Leather with the elastic cord and it works well. American Archery Leathers also sells a very nice armguard with the elastic cord.

I use those guard when wearing bulky clothing. Works fine. Took a while to get a vid on photo bucket, but got something. How do you embed that vid directly on the reply page without having to go to another site to watch it?

I'm not sure you can anymore... only way I can figure it out is to do it like I did. Copy the image link and paste it.

[swampthing]

from what though? photo bucket??

[khardrunner]

Yep that's how I do it. I look at the share page and slide over to the links tab.

Got it. I pre aim as I'm bringing up the bow hand, setting my "Kentucky Elevation," so by the time I have the bow up and pointed at my target, all I have to do is finish the last 6-8" of draw and start my release as I hit my "anchor" spots. I'm essentially keeping the string anchored to my spots while I continue to pull back, by letting my fingers unroll and the string rips free. This keeps the draw length consistent, prevents "creeping," as well as increases arrow speed.

Tried one of the lace up arm guards when I first started out. It was a little bit of a hassle lacing it up,but not that bad.I tied a knot in the line where it hooked the last hook,to keep it tight. I switched to this "Grizzly/wolverine Broadheads" arm guard probably at least 15 years ago. Heavy pigskin with elastic cord and hooks.Very quick to put on and easy to adjust for heavy clothes.

Hey 3Feathers. Sent you a PM regarding your bow rack question.

[3Feathers]

What do you set your nock height at for 66in. Hill 3/8?????

[khardrunner]

I set all mine at 1/4, but I nock the arrow above the nocking point.

I use two nocking points.  Top of the bottom nock set at 1/4".  

Also new Hill-style bow from BamaBows.  Called the Tribute.  See Nate's in stock bows.

That "Tribute" looks very nice and at a very fair price but I am holding out hoping someday to get on the other Nate's list.
A Sunset Hill bow is one of those item's that I hope my grandkids will remember me by long after I am gone.

[rushlush]

Those Sunset Hill's are sweet shooters.
