I haven't even owned one for 25 years. I use proper hand position and set the correct drawlength so never hit my arm, even with hunting clothes on.

I use an armguard for hunting only when wearing my hunting gear. With the added bulk of my camo clothing and the possibility of a shot in an unusual position, I don't take any chances that the clothing will interfere with the string travel.

Armguards and wrist slings - NEVER; and we hunt in some VERY cold conditions. I set up and instruct my customers so that they don't really need them. Some desire them due to old habits, so I definitely keep them in stock.
