If you've ever watched Fred Eichler's hunting shows, you know he never stays still. That goes for his signature line of archery gear as well. Fred is always on the look out for new gear, like this quality Buffalo Leather Armguard.

The American Bison, or Buffalo, has long been a symbol of power and majesty. The Native Americans used Buffalo hide for everything from their moccasins to their tipis. It's a quality leather that compares to cow hide in strength and elasticity, but features a unique and appealing grain.

The Eichler Buffalo Armguard is a great companion for Fred's Signature Series Bear Archery Riser. It has all of the features you'd expect from high-quality buffalo leather, with some added touches for comfort and appearance. The laminated stitched edge construction gives you a sturdy, yet flexible armguard. The elastic stretch cord and hook attachment system means easy wear andremoval.

Measures 8-1/2" long, with a buffalo skull and Fred Eichler's signature stamped into the leather.

Does leather grain affect the performance of an armguard? Not significantly. The distinctive grain found in leathers such as buffalo or bison primarily affects appearance and character rather than performance. Protection, comfort, and durability are influenced more by the quality of the leather and construction. Many traditional archers simply enjoy the unique look that natural grain patterns give to their gear.
