Hun-Turanic Ornamented Archery Arm Guard

[Youri]

Soo, this is my first arm guard. I made this for my gf birthday:)
I did a little research, to know better our ornament culture, and thats happaned in the end.

The full armor is on the way!

Nicely done! That will definitely keep your arm from getting beat up!

[Tinkerton]

That looks badass. I can't wait to see the full armor!

[Bruce H]

Wow...I love it!

[Grey Drakkon]

That is awesome looking! How hard it is to tie off the rope though?

[Youri]

Thanks for your comments!

Its not a problem. But like every authentic scythian, hun, hungarian/magyar armor, need an assistant to take on and off. That holds a deeper tradition, before war. (You can count on someone ect. )
You can manage yourself to take on and off, but its a way tricckier. :D

Doesn't look like enough knuckle protection from the fletches. I have a similar design and I get cut. I no longer wear it.

Hey! I have those same arrows! LOL

Where do you get cut? At the forefinger? Usually we use the bow without any protection, and we dont get cut. Do you have plastic feather?

Hey! I have those same arrows! LOL

:D The world is too little. btw same colors or "Szalóky"-arrows?

Both! At least, it looks like you have the red and black fletching like mine. Szalóky has a store here in the United States on the West Coast so I was able to order some via mail. Everyone is impressed with them, and I love that they have a bodkin type arrowhead on the ones I have, they get a lot of looks (and tend to come out of the target easier)
