Alligator arm guard
« on: December 06, 2010, 02:29:54 pm »



This a arm guard I made.  It is going to be a Christmas gift.  It has antler buttons, and a antler bead on the shock cord that holds it tight.  The leather is from the first animal I took with my longbow.  It is backed with suede pigskin.  Sewed with artificial sinew.  Gonna make myself one shortly.
Happy hunting to all!

Looks very slick, Mr. Bailey.  Gator huntin's probably a tad bit exciting, to boot.

 Very nice, Mr. Baily. Where do you live that you have those lizards?
Lakeland, Florida
 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Very nice work. We dont have GAtors here, obviously, so I hunt bears. Kind of spices it up when your prey can eat you if your not careful.
