Title: Custom Armguard
Post by: Flingblade on September 22, 2017, 10:14:00 AM
Just wanted to recognize a tradgang sponsor Chad Orde of Drifter Traditional Archery!  I recently sent Chad an image that I wanted made into an armguard.  I was really amazed at how it turned out!  Much better than I had even hoped!  I love the compass sewn in so I'm never without direction and the leather button hook on the bottom to minimize noise when hunting out of a treestand!  Smart design and beautiful tooling work!  Check out the pictures:

If you have an idea for your own custom armguard give Chad a call!

Really nice... due for a new armguard and I've been eyeballin' Chad's for awhile. For those that have em, how do the compasses work & hold up? Love the idea, but would hate to have one fail on a valuable piece of leather art.

Gary,
Glad you like it! Looks good on you too!

Randy,
They are all liquid filled and I have one in an armguard I have been using for say 5 years with no signs of failure ahead. I could replace them if one did fail with a little effort.
