When using your bow it is wise to wear bracers to protect the inside forearm of your bow arm for those times when your form starts to slip and the bowstring can whack you as you release. This is a very painful occurrence, and can leave a big, long-lasting bruise. They also prevent loose clothing from catching the bow string. Like modern archers, medieval people wore bracers, some of them very fancy indeed. These could be carved or decorated to suit the taste of the archer, or of the lord he served. This set of bracers is made from genuine leather with a raised Medieval cross in the center. . Metal studs adorn the top and bottom and the sides feature brass eyelets for adjustment. Not only do they look good but better yet they protect.
