I get my bungee cord from Boaters World. They have any size you need on bulk spools by the foot. I buy it from them for rigging Herter's duck decoys.

It's called shock cord. Most any sporting goods store should carry it.

I found mine at a Fabric store. Absolutly the least expensive of anywhere! I bought enough for $3. to last me for about 20 armguards. Biff

Do a google search for bungie cord. You'll find about a hundred places selling it. I bought the minimum amount for about 15 dollars and have enough for 2 or 3 lifetimes. The places that sell you a few feet for several dollars are making about a 1000 percent markup.
