Comments about Medieval Archer's Bracer:

I've been using this for over a year now, and it's stood up quite well. The extra length is nice, and though it serves as more of a precautionary item, when it is hit, even with a decent weight bow, it's not too bad at all. It's also quite good looking, and I've gotten plenty of compliments on it from traditional as well as more modern minded archers. It can get somewhat hot, but it's not particularly bad, and I find I forget I'm wearing it half the time.

I own several bracers for use with recurve, long bow, horse bow and compound bows. The large traditional Bear leather lace up arm guard with stretch lacing works well, laces fast but is stiff when you bend your wrist inward and is uncomfortable. The small Neet 6" arm guard is stiff and just that too small for occasional long bow string slap. I have a beautiful studded black leather bracer I bought from a Midievel leather worker. Love it but it hurts the wrist to wear it. The soft padded camo arm guard with elastic bands I found on a hunting outfitters site to use with compound bows gets in the string's way in tradional archery or when I wear cold weather clothing. It is comfy but cannot wear it to an SCA event. This Midievel Archer's brace has softer leather that I was expecting yet offers adequate protection for the wrist and arm. It does take a little more time to get the wrist area adjusted snug without overtightening the arm part but if you are going to wear it for several hours, "Who cares about lace up speed?" Just hold the tab with your teeth while your "free" fingers pull on strings fitting it around your forearm then slide the tab down strings to "lock" position. This is just what I needed for the Medievel appearance yet have adequate protection without bruising a wrist. Just bought another one for my husband.
I am so thankful 3 Rivers carries these!

This a great armguard and I could tell by the photo that I'd like it. However, after I received it I was major disappointed. I think the one I have is built backwards i.e. the soft side (vinyl?) which I think would go inside as a liner is on the outside and the hard shinny smooth surface is on the inside. Since the "lacing holders" (for lack of a better word) are riveted in place it can't be used any other way. I haven't used it yet since I'm afraid a bowstring would rip the vinyl apart in no time. I'm going to try to Dremel the rivets out, place the lacing holders on the smooth hard side as soon as I can find rivets that match the ones that are on it. It will be a lot of work to "retool" this thing, but once done it will be a great armguard.

I use it regularly. Very functional. I'll change the nylon string for leather though, just for cosmetic purposes.

I have wanted one of these for some time, but other sources were outrageously expensive. Good price, good quality.

Great product. Best I have seen.

Comments about Medieval Archer's Bracer:

The only thing "wrong" with this product is that the inside lining is vinyl and not leather, this make the arm guard really hot and somehow uncomfortable.
