Archery-Common Protective Gear

01 Quiver (Quiver)

The main function of a quiver is to store and protect arrows.
A quiver is a tool for loading arrows. It usually adopts a multi-tube storage chamber design. It can store various arrows in categories and effectively protect arrows, ensuring the smoothness and safety of archers during archery.

There are generally two types of quivers. One is a field quiver with the tail facing forward, which is mostly used in recurve bow competitions. The other is a reverse field quiver, which is mostly used for compound bows or various field 3D events for easy movement.

02Chest guard

Chest protector is a protection for the front chest. It can prevent the bowstring from scraping the chest when it rebounds (especially for girls), and it can also protect the bowstring and reduce the friction loss of the bowstring (note: during the bowstring rebound process, anything the bowstring touches will cause the arrow to fall at different points).

03Bow sling

Bow rope is mainly used to protect the bow and arrow and bowstring, and help archers better control the bow and arrow. It prevents the bowstring from rubbing against the bow handle or other objects during archery, thereby reducing the risk of bowstring wear and breakage. In addition, the bow rope can also help the archer better control the bow and arrow, reduce the vibration and swing of the bowstring when releasing the arrow, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of archery.

04 Finger guard

The finger guard is mainly to prevent injuries caused by friction between the bowstring and the fingers. High-quality finger guards can also make the release smoother, resulting in better results.

05 Arm guards

The main function of the arm guard used in archery is to protect the arm from damage when the bowstring rebounds. ‌ During archery, the bowstring will rebound when released, which may cause the bowstring to hit the arm and cause injury. The arm guard is usually made of a coil of elastic material that can be tightly wrapped around the arm to provide additional support and protection. ‌

06 Goggles

The main function of goggles during archery is to protect the eyes from damage. In outdoor archery activities, goggles can prevent flying arrow feathers, bowstrings or other debris from causing physical damage to the eyes, and can also block direct sunlight and reduce eye fatigue. In indoor archery activities, archers are often specifically required to wear goggles before pulling out the arrow to prevent the arrow tail from causing damage to the eyes when pulling out the arrow.
