Hi All.
When I was at the Lilydale shoot last year, shooting in my raincoat and thermals, my bow arm became rather bulky with clothing. A half dozen elastic bands got me through the shoot, however something more permanent was required, so I have come up with this little idea. You can wear whatever you like and the sleeve just slides over and holds everything a little tighter without cutting off the blood supply.....
They are made from the same stretchy material as my bow limb socks, are fully washable and at the momemt come in various shades of hand dyed camo green or brown, and will be $10.
If anyone is interested in one, please contact me via ozbow or email swallace@spiderweb.com.au
cheers
sue

Hey Huey,

It would take a all eternity to learn all there is to know in this world. All we can do is share our knowledge and help others to understand that which we have worked hard to discover in the hope that they will not repeat our mistakes.

Looks good. I'll take one. PM sent.
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Re: Bulky Bow Arm Sleeve
I just got my sleeve, and it sure will do the trick. I'm very happy with it.
