Archery Arm Guard, Archery Bracer/Archery Cowhide Leather Forearm Protector w/Bow Range with 3-Strap Buckles, Arm Guard for Archer Hunter

I ordered 3 of these armguards, one in each color. My two kids (ages 8 and 6) and I all shoot recurves. I am a short gal 5’2″, so I figured one of these would work for me as well.First, this looks to be well made. Comfy wide straps with easy to use, adjustable buckles. The material of the main body is athletic mesh, the type you find on high-end running shoes. On the outside of the armguard (the side that will take the abuse from occasional string slaps), there is an extra layer of tougher black mesh. This is why the colors look darker in the “stock” photos. The actual colors of these armguards are blaze orange, lime green, and bright fuschia. The mesh looks and feels like it will breathe well in hot weather, which beats most of the leather/plastic armguards I have seen. It’s the same mesh as my running shoes, and they breathe great.The only reason I did not give this item 5 stars is the size. When this says “Youth” armguard, they mean “teenage”, not “child” size. I am adding a couple photos, by which the rulers I laid out can show that the size is better suited to a teen or a small adult.I will add, I have been a “serious” competitive archer for years, and I have seen my share of armguards. If your string is hitting your armguard more than 1-2 times a day (even for a kid!) , find a coach to help you work on your form- the armguard isn’t the problem. [...]
