RE: Armguards
Whats the trouble that you need one , I use to use a arm gaurd because every time I shot the string hit my arm , come to find out draw length was to long . But I would recomend on that atleast covers from your elbow down to wrist.

RE: Armguards
If you are shooting a bow that is properly fitted to you and using good form you shouldn't need an armguard.
The exception being to keep bulky winter clothing out of the way. In this caseI just cut the toe out of a sock and slip it over my sleeve. Much cheaper than anything sold in the hunting stores and does what it is suppose to do.

I am using a Tarantula arm gaurd. I used mine at firstbecuase I was just learning how to shoot and I was slapping my arm due to bad form. Now I do not need it but use it to keep my sleeve out of the way. If you buy one go with 3 straps not the 2 straps. Well at least that is my preference.

RE: Armguards
Check out a guard made by Buckwing, I use for practice and hunting. They run $9.95 from Cabels's and I saw them at Gander Mountain. It is an elastic sleeve with 2 plastic strips sewn inside, just pull it over your arm or your coat, it will protect and also compress your jacket so it doesn't get slapped and make noise. I have one for warm weather and one to use with heavier clothes for colder weather

RE: Armguards
The only time I will use a guard is when hunting with heavy clothing. Justa precautionto keep my cuffs from interfering with my string should I have to shoot from an awkward position. Nothing special, just an everyday camo guard available at any sports shop.
