Check out Sponsor Mike at Mikes Archery Leather, M.A.L. I've been using the same one from him for three years now and it shows no sign of giving up the ghost.

yep, Mike's is a good one.  I've got 2 of his.  Check out High Noon Hunter's too.  He had some in the sponsor's classifieds a bit ago.  Both are top rate guys.

I got this one for a Christmas a couple years ago and love it. After I'd been using it for about a year, My dad ("gingivitis kahn" on here) decided he liked the looks of it so much that he ended up buying one for himself too.

Mike's Archery Leather!
I really like his "Diamond tan" leather the best, and the armguard is top notch.

Mike's Archery Leather is the best of the best. Try his latigo arm guard. Great design and great craftsmanship. You won't find anything better.

I know a guy that made me and my son really cool arm guards. Ours are made of shark skin. but he has all kinds of leather. Let me know if you want his info. He can make it any way you want. Mine is wider then most and a little shorter. But it works great.

and THAT'S the problem.  You don't get repeat business b/c your stuff never wears out!  :D

You're using the "diamond tanned" leather too Mike?  That stuff quickly became one of my favorites.
