As anyone who has ever done archery will know, use a bow without an arm guard at you own peril!

When I first started out in archery I managed to give myself an 8-inch long 2-inch wide bruise with my compound bow set at 58 pounds that made the default blue colour of Rendo now pale into insignificance. I didn't know the rainbow had that many colours! Hurt like a bastard for ages! The guys at my club just laughed and said 'see, I told you to keep your elbow joint parallel to the ground'. :lol:

I can really sympathise with woman doing archery with that extra somewhat sensitive protrusion!
