Arm guard recommendations?
« on: November 21, 2016, 08:54:00 PM »
All,

Looking for ideas for a new arm guard and wanted to get thoughts from everyone.  I have an arm guard but my complaint is that it is too long and restricts movement and is uncomfortable around my wrist.  I would like a leather guard but am open to almost anything.

I bought a leather guard form Big Jim, and it has worked very well for me.

Check out the Latigo Hunter Armguard from Mike's Archery Leather. He's a sponser here.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Bought one from RMSG. Not too big. Maybe what you are looking for. Not too expensive either.

And here I'm thinking about a longer one with a chest plate to get my clothing out of the way.  I was catching the chest pocket cover of my flannel shirt yesterday, sending my arrows several inches left.

I second Mike's Archery Leather. I really do not like to wear one but when I wear long sleeves it becomes necessary.

I bought a traditional only arm guard,from 3 Rivers for $26.50
The picture does it no justice  I was really surprised how thick it was and how nice it was this is a high quality leather arm
guard. The elastic cord and hook system are really easy to put on and take off. Way better than any buckle system.  I did add a slip barrel to mine to make it easier to adjust from going  from a t-shirt to a heavy jacket. If you want a nice leather arm guard but don't want to spend rediculous amount of money. This is a great choice

Dwyer Bows sells some nice ones.

Everyone in our family finds the fit, strength, looks, and break-in is great.

I have used a ton over the last few years and settled on a buffalo hide arm guard from American leathers. It's very comfortable and works well. Only downside is you sweat more under it during warmer days. Quality is excellent though.
