Arm guard
« on: November 07, 2012, 01:48:34 PM »
So I have to ask. How many of you guys hunt with an arm guard?

  I don't feel like I need it very often but once my arm gets tired I tend to slap it with the string. Only once each day and it hurts bad enough I hold good form the rest of the time.

Nope....not for that reason. One of my jackets has a "guard" to keep the fabric out of the way.

Your arm gets tired at the range so you wear an arm guard.  That's cool, I get it.  How many times do you shoot while hunting?  Just sayin'

I only shoot about 30 arrows per practice session. I'm not an expert but fancy myself a good shot, and I tend to think that if you're so worn out that you know your form is suffering, its time to hang it up for the day.  :twocents:

:yeah:
Why keep shooting if your accuracy is gonna just go down because you are fatigued.
No guard for me.

I don't need to but wear it anyway during practice and hunting. It's not going to hurt wearing one or cause the chance of a life time.

Used one when I first started shooting but now I never use it. I forget that I have it most of the time.

Well my opinion has been I don't need one because I only hit it once in a while and only if I shoot a bunch. My accuracy doesn't diminish just tend to slap my arm. But in theory I should only shoot one arrow when hunting. At least that's the plan.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

sounds like your shooting too much  :dunno:

i only shoot two arrows at a time and maybe 30 arrows in one day

focus on form and make every shot count,really imagine that world record every time you let one loose  :twocents:



and maybe your draw length is a tad to long  :dunno: :dunno:

late season its def nice to have something to keep those puffy coats compressed
