I need one shooting my longbow.

The only time I use one is while hunting or winter to keep my sleeves out of the way of the string.

only for sleeves,x2......... if you hit your arm, there is two reasons you are drawing to far, or your elbow is in the wrong position.

Never use one just for the sleeve thing

My longbow bites me now and then. And I made the of watching videos and looking at pictures of torn up arms from arrows that grenaded at launch. So I wear one when my paranoia gets the best of me.

when you say grenades are you referring to carbon arrow or does it apply to aluminium also?

I feel naked without one.

Paul_R · « **Reply #12 on:** August 30, 2013, 10:34:00 PM »

I don't believe I've heard of an aluminum arrow flying apart like a carbon. Anybody ever hear of that?

canuck4570 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 30, 2013, 10:38:00 PM »

only saw pictures of carbon arrow breaking an going through
the archer's hand

You do see a lot more hand injuries that's for sure. They can happen just by an arrow falling off the shelf, over draw, ect.

I wear them to get my sleeves out of the way or when introducing new shooters to the sport. I like for new shooters to wear them so they don't pop themselves and not enjoy the experience, so I just go ahead and put one on too. The only time my longbow ever pops me is if I've twisted it in my hand when I shot.

No with my recurves, yes with my longbow; and in the cold weather when wearing bulky sleeves.

You do not have to use one, but they are a great idea! I seldom hit mine, but I wear it when I shoot.

I get popped if I have brace height too low on the bow. Happens when making a new one now and then. I need to make myself a new arm guard though because they nearly never heal with my circulation.
