Bracer
A bracer is a protective sheathing (armguard) that was made out of heavy leather that was worn over
forearms to protect them while shooting from a bow. The purpose of wearing bracers was to protect
the archers arm from getting injured by the string of the bow or the feathers of an arrow. The
armguards also prevented loose clothing from touching the string of the bow.
