13 best archery protective gear
Archery protective gear is essential equipment that archers use to ensure safety and comfort during their practice and competitions. It includes various items designed to protect the archer and enhance their overall shooting experience. Here's an overview of archery protective gear:
Arm Guard: An arm guard is worn on the forearm of the bow hand to protect against the bowstring's slap during the release.It prevents painful bruises or abrasions and allows for a smoother release.
Finger Tab or Glove: Archers use finger tabs or gloves on their drawing hand to protect their fingers from the friction and pressure of the bowstring during the draw and release. These accessories help ensure a consistent release and minimize discomfort.
Chest Guard: A chest guard, also known as a chest protector, is worn over the archer's clothing to shield the chest area from the bowstring during the draw and release. It helps prevent clothing interference and potential injury.
Thumb Ring: Some archers, particularly those practicing traditional or Asian archery styles like Mongolian or Korean, use thumb rings. These rings protect the thumb of the drawing hand and provide a smooth surface for releasing the bowstring.
Quiver: A quiver is a container used to hold arrows securely and conveniently. Archers wear quivers attached to their belt or clothing, allowing them to access arrows quickly and efficiently during shooting.
Chest Rig or Belt: Competitive archers may use chest rigs or belts equipped with pockets and compartments for storing various accessories, including spare parts, tools, and other essentials.
Face Mask or Veil: Archers who shoot in extreme weather conditions, such as wind, rain, or bright sunlight, may use face masks or veils to protect their face and improve concentration.
Sunscreen and Sunglasses: Outdoor archers often use sunscreen to protect their skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. Sunglasses with UV protection can also shield the eyes from glare and enhance visibility.
Ear Protection: In some cases, archers may use ear protection, such as earplugs or earmuffs, to reduce noise and protect their hearing when practicing in indoor shooting ranges.
Footwear: While not considered protective gear in the traditional sense, appropriate footwear is essential for stability and comfort. Archers often wear flat-soled shoes that provide a solid platform for maintaining balance during shooting.
Safety Measures: In addition to protective gear, archery venues and clubs typically have safety measures in place, such as designated shooting lanes, range rules, and safety guidelines, to ensure the well-being of participants.
Archery protective gear is crucial for both safety and performance. Archers should carefully choose gear that suits their shooting style, environment, and individual needs to enjoy a safe and rewarding archery experience. Properly selected and maintained protective gear can contribute to improved accuracy and consistency in shooting.

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this cover above the elbow too |
Answer: | 7W is the width your FOOT. If you need a wide calf, as I do, the tab just inside the boot will read "7WWC". 7 wide, wide calf. We wear the exact same boot. I have two pairs that were correct, one that was incorrectly described. The wide width is the SAME as shoes. The calf describes that thing on your leg. The wife calf. The calf muscle. |
Question: | Is there two or just one? One picture shows two |
Answer: | The foot. I think if you have issues finding boots with wide calves, this won’t work because it is pretty snug in the calf area. |
