This is the most beautiful armguard I have ever seen. A gift from a gifted man.

Those are beautifully tooled pieces!

If you are looking for a simple, practical, all-season design, I really like the ones I got from sponsor, Mike's Archery Leather...

Scott Teaschner's armguards are amazing. Best I have ever seen. Mike also makes excellent, simpler armguards. Can't go wrong with either.

Killdeer, that armguard is, for lack of better words, "WOW". I'm kind of embarrassed to say, but while hunting I just use two thick rubber bands. The "KISS" principle seems to work real good for me.   :D

I have several armguards. one is and MAL. great piece. simple and well made.

I have seen Scotts, WOW! don't own one yet.

I got a new one last year with a unique design that I will try to post later. Made by Tim Abel.

My all time favorite is one I bought in the mid 90's at the Tradexpo in Hastings MI. Made by Myan Leather. What a supper arm guard. Simple Suple and still perfect after nearly 20Yrs. Still has original lace. I have looked for them since but I can find no information on them.
Anybody know the outfit?

I love the looks of Tim Roberts (Farr West Leather) Armguard/knive combos. Had one for a few years and cant say anything but good.

I like the closure system on the 2nd one Mudd. Looks quick and adjustable. Does anyone make that kind of system now?

Mike's is my favorite. Will be wearing it to the Big Game Shoot this coming weekend at the Granite Mountain range here in Prescott. Should be a good turnout.

I second (or third or fourth) Mike's Archery Leather as a well-made, dirt simple and durable arm guard. Mine have lasted for years, and look as good or better than when I got them.

My favorite, and by far the best made guard I've had, is this one from Scott Teaschner (Wyoming Wildlife Artistry).

+1 for MAL.  Quick on and off, well made, and holes for ventilation.
