I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I can't draw for the life of me, but I've always pictured a recurve with static limbs held horizontaly looked like a bird of prey.

I haven't seen many armguards with gators on 'em.

   

OR...

My son is 5yrs old and can't wait to go froggin' sometime...

   

and another...

 

...some different critters to see on armguards, I realize, but it doesn't ALWAYS hafta be about big game animals does it? Thanks for the chance!

Here they are NOT colored in...

Heres a couple more:

I always thought the Olde English Lion would be neat on an armguard given the tradition of the English Longbow. The detail could be scaled back a bit if needed...

Thanks again for the chance!

For another arrow head design this would look cool and still be simple to do.

If you got a graphic artist to clean this up with a nice typeset font I think Tandy Leather or a custom die maker could make you a trademrk stamp for your leather products.

Based on the directional compass.

Head in the right direction. Go Farr West.

 
Sweet...I like that one.  Good work.    :thumbsup:

I like that.  You could put the Farr above the arrow, and West below it to keep it all inside the circle.

It was a rebel flag with a longbow and arrow in the center.I guess photobucket doesn't like the south.   :laughing:

Nice scene fish-n-chicks

That could easily be sewn in by hand or with the Tippman Boss and dyed to create a very nice piece.

Thanks Bud. These arm guards are so sweet I gotta try to get one somehow. I don't know how to work leather, but I tried to keep it sew-able for sorts. I gotta tell ya bro, your idea is kick ass too.

Here's my idea. Might be a bit over the top for an armguard but if it could be done it would be sweet. I drew this myself and then had a tattoo done of it.

Just a reminder the designs are make from formed rawhide and need to be kept simple.
Thanks for all the great entries!!!!!
