Is this thick enough do protect your arm doing Archery?

No not really. It is a thin nylon sleeve used for compression or like to prevent dirt/burn marks when sliding while playing baseball.

Depends how hard you get hit by the string. I would not recommend it for that.

I don't think so... but then again I don't do archery. It is a thin compression sleeve. It may be slick enough to help with abrasion, but I'm really just guessing.

I used it for bows for daughters outside wedding. Pretty durable but don't know if thick enough for you're use several wrappings of thickness would probably work and the price is great!!!

I believe it is 5mm thick. The part of the inner elbow is a little thinner and stretchier to allow for mobility. These are great sleeves.

No, it resembles a sword from a distance, but is rather thick for weight and upper body workout

It shouldn't. I got this for my teenage daughter for xmas and a starter bow since she wanted to learn. It's very thick and seems like it will last. It's not solid foam so it seems to reform when you pull the arrows out. Hope this helps.

Yes, and it is very elastic. It keeps your bandage in place much better than an Ace Bandage.

Not well, unless you are skinny. It is elastic and would eventually cut off blood circulation. It is best used as intended.

Yes It is this bow doesn't require much muscle but the arrow it self does make a strong impact with the bow I really recommend this product it should be just fine for a person that is 5'3!!

I don't know that it would be thick enough? It's only about 1/8"-1/4" thick and it's flimsy. It's great for under exercise equipment on carpet. A great comparison would be to an exercise mat. I'd look for thicker a mat, more industrial.

Hi. I am not sure how this rest would do for instinctive shooting. I mounted this on. A compound. For my instinctive shooting I use my homemade longbow with a carved shelf I did. And i don't look down the arrow. I point and shoot. Sorry couldn't be much help.

I haven't tried that It fits tight on the arm so I think it would work, just keep arm bent

Yes, I bought them for my granddaughter who is a Vet Tech. They are longer than most and protect you arms.

Yes, you receive one arm guard. You would have to specify if you wanted more than one. You really only need a guard for the arm that is holding the bow, the arm pulling the string back is not in danger of being slapped by the string.

These compression sleeves will provide about as much protection as a pair of thick knee socks. I have not noticed any improvements in my agility due to the compression sleeves, though they do reduce to some degree the fatigue of standing or sitting for a long time.

A lower arm guard is recommended, especially for new shooters. If your form was perfect (hold your bow arm extended, but NOT with the elbow "locked") you would not need it, but the string contacting your arm or wrist is very painful.

Yes you absolutely can use for arms. It does not have much resistance but will work.

Maybe on your forearm, but since its a tad bigger than some others that I've seen and worn, I would recommend wearing it on your bicep. It might be a little bigger than some others, but it makes up for it in construction. I has a sleeker one that started coming apart the third time I wore it. This one is simply more durable.
