Building an Armguard
« on: November 07, 2012, 03:28:00 PM »
I am working on an Armguard for my Pal Denny, the guy that had the Montana Longbow Gifted to him. Where can I get the Elastic "Shock" Cord to use to Strap it on his Arm?  ANY  Help will be Greatly Appreciated!!  :thumbsup:

You can get it at about any craft store i would suggest getting a thin cord and braiding it i found it gives you more adjustment. Hope you can see the braid

I bought a bulk roll on line to make arm guards.

PM me your mailing address and I'll send you some. No charge.

Most well stocked camping stores have it to repair the shock cord in tent poles.  I am lucky to have a local store and REI close to the house.

Well KOOK68, (Love the Handle too  :D  ) I wont say I havent Bled for some of my Projects! I figure its my "Personal Touch"   :rolleyes:  to whatever I am sewing up!
  I actually got the handle from being OverBowed waaaaaaay back in my "Wheelie Bow Days". "How in the World are You  EVER  gonna hit Anything Shakin' like ya do?" The Guys I used to shoot with were a Bunch of Comedians, Nicest Folks I had met up until Tradgang!!  :thumbsup:  
  I started shooting with My Son, who is now 20 in 6-2002, so that explains the .602! I couldnt find a Better Number than That!!   :thumbsup:
