I use the upper portion of an old hunting sock.

All of the above and open up your stance a little. Alan

You can buy a roll of velcro cable ties.It sticks to itself and can be cut any length.As many uses as duct tape and perfect for getting clothes out of the way along with everything else.  :)

Thanks for the ideas. I use an armgaurd, it's the bulky upper-sleeve plus breezy days blow it toward the string during some shots. I assumed it was common especially during spring jacket weather. Moving to Gawgia might solve the need for a jacket, too   ;)
