Default arm gaurds?

ok guys...i dont shoot with an armgaurd when shooting in Tshirts..but been thinking now that its cooling off, do you guys wear arm gaurds when hunting or wearing hunting jackets etc? i know when i DO hit my arm the shot is OFF. i was thinking of wearing an arm gaurd just to kinda smash down/contain my long sleeves. i know ill be wearing my Sundays best as kids at school called it..camo pants and a button up jean type material camo shirt. i bought it along with most my hunting gear a hair big..just so i can layer underneath if its cold. and was worried the string may catch the sleeve....what do you guys think? good idea or waste of money?

I have one that I wear in the late season. I don't want my string hitting my bulky jacket and throwing my shot off. That would ruin my year real quick.

I only wear an arm guard when I wear long sleeves that are a little bulky. I don't need a sleeve messing up the shot of a lifetime.

I only wear one when I have several layers of warm clothing which gets bulky.
