Just looking to see what everyone's favourite arm guard is.
Would love to see pics of some beautiful work as well.
Here are THE most beautiful armguards I've ever seen!

This is the most beautiful armguard I have ever seen. A gift from a gifted man.

Now that is a thing of beauty.
Those are beautifully tooled pieces!
If you are looking for a simple, practical, all-season design, I really like the ones I got from sponsor, Mike's Archery Leather...

Scott Teaschner's armguards are amazing. Best I have ever seen. Mike also makes excellent, simpler armguards. Can't go wrong with either.

Killdeer, that armguard is, for lack of better words, "WOW". I'm kind of embarrassed to say, but while hunting I just use two thick rubber bands. The "KISS" principle seems to work real good for me. :D
X 2 on Scott's leather work.
I have two favorites.

God bless,Mudd
I have several armguards. one is and MAL. great piece. simple and well made.
I have seen Scotts, WOW! don't own one yet.
I got a new one last year with a unique design that I will try to post later. Made by Tim Abel.
My all time favorite is one I bought in the mid 90's at the Tradexpo in Hastings MI. Made by Myan Leather. What a supper arm guard. Simple Suple and still perfect after nearly 20Yrs. Still has original lace. I have looked for them since but I can find no information on them.
Anybody know the outfit?

I love the looks of Tim Roberts (Farr West Leather) Armguard/knive combos. Had one for a few years and cant say anything but good.
I like the closure system on the 2nd one Mudd. Looks quick and adjustable. Does anyone make that kind of system now?
Mike's is my favorite. Will be wearing it to the Big Game Shoot this coming weekend at the Granite Mountain range here in Prescott. Should be a good turnout.
I second (or third or fourth) Mike's Archery Leather as a well-made, dirt simple and durable arm guard. Mine have lasted for years, and look as good or better than when I got them.

My favorite, and by far the best made guard I've had, is this one from Scott Teaschner (Wyoming Wildlife Artistry).

This is my favourite. Made by new sponsor Jhawk who also made me up four knife sheaths. :thumbsup:

I have 2 of Scott's and one of Tim's. Both are great.
+1 for MAL. Quick on and off, well made, and holes for ventilation.
I just checked out Scotts website. Some very beautiful work!

Here's mine... received in a trade from another Tradganger. I think it's a Cedar Ridge custom by Art Vincent, but can't say for sure.

My son just got his new bow yesterday, and Mine is being made by Keagan, so in celebration I made these this morning!
I'll still may make some perforations so they breathes better, bit not bad for a couple hours work, using scraps, and odds and ends...

I'd be more than happy with any of the one's pictured on this thread,but man,I really like this one!!!
I had Jason over at Rasher Quivers (http://rasherquivers.com/) make this one for me. He did an excellent job on it.

Beautiful armguards.
That being said, I don't believe in them.
If you are hitting your arm, you aren't posititioning yor bow arm correctly.
I am 69, shooting 72 # @ 31 ".
Strings deflecting off arm gauards have to delect the arrow.

I'm guessing you don't wear long sleeve shirts or jackets while hunting right? They kinda work for that too.
