Tape your sleeve?

[BoxMN]

I am still rookie at this, and last year was shooting with my jacket on for practice. I don't have any specific fancy bow clothing, and my sleeve seemed to get in the way, so I duct taped it a bit tighter Does anyone else do this, or have better way of keeping clothing out of the bow's way?

Still waiting to let an arrow fly at a deer, but last year due to the "shooters choice" zones I bow and (separate zone) rifle hunt in, I shot my deer during rifle so that ended my bow season before it really started for me. This year might shoot doe in the metro area just to get my first deer, my neighbor says he will take me out to "for sure" area he has..

try a velcro strap or two.

good idea mark. or try an arm guard.

[Scoot]

Yep, you can get a cheap arm guard that will work great for about $5. Also, you might look at your grip- your bow hand should have the grip of the bow running right down your lifeline. If you are "grabbing" it too much it can turn your forearm in and make your sleeve be more of an issue. Some jackets/sleeves are a problem no matter what your grip is though.

I use this elastic/knitted sleeve that says "Realtree" on it. Can't remember where I got it but it works well. No straps or buckles. Keep it in my pocket and I pull it on when I'm in the stand. It works well to keep any loose cloth consolidated from wrist to upper arm. I use it from my light weight clothing of early fall to my warmest layers.

Yep, anything to keep the bunch clear of your bowstring. Armguard or socks are probably the most popular, but a host of home-found remedies will do the trick.

I use an armguard anytime I wear anything more than a long sleeve-T. Cheap insurance.

I cut the foot end off an old black tube sock. Works perfect and you probably have one in your sock drawer for free.

I use a old pair of panty house of course with the wifes permission! Works great especially when you have thick clothes on for the winter months.

panty hose... socks.... the deer won't stand a chance!

I have used a camo sleeve Armgard I purchased at cab with good success, I later purchased a camo snakeskin compression sleeve and I really like it, I think they were about $10 at the store.

[BoxMN]

Thanks all! I kinda like the black sock option, as I know I have them laying around just about every other wash load I lose one! Hmmm, now that I think about it, I have some longer socks with holes in them, some woolish ones that would work great
