Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, the DOA armguard allows you to shoot with style while giving something back to the community.

How to Set Up and Fit Your Armguard
The rubber cord on your Bearpaw DOA is generously long to fit all arm sizes. To get the perfect fit, place the guard on your arm, lace the cord through the hooks in a zig-zag pattern, and adjust the tension until it feels secure but comfortable. Once you've found your ideal fit, tie a knot behind the leather patch and trim off any excess cord. The leather is hand-embossed using heated brass dies, ensuring a premium finish that only gets better with age as the pull-up effect kicks in.
The DOA Foundation and Ethical Craftsmanship
One of the most meaningful aspects of this product is its connection to the DOA Foundation, which works with youth who have lost faith in themselves. Furthermore, Bearpaw ensures that the craftsmen in Pakistan are treated with the utmost respect, earning three times the regional average wage and receiving full insurance for their families. Since Bearpaw coordinates their leather colours across the entire range, this Dark Brown guard will be a perfect match for your other Bearpaw gear.
Care Instructions and Usage Warnings
Natural leather requires basic care to last a lifetime. If your armguard gets wet during a rainy shoot, let it dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place it on a radiator, as extreme heat will cause the leather to stiffen and crack. You can occasionally use a leather balm to keep it supple, but avoid over-greasing if you want to maintain the pull-up effect. Never machine wash this product or leave it in a scorching hot car, as UV rays and intense heat can damage the leather fibres.
Recommended Accessories
To complement your vintage look, we recommend a matching shooting glove in brown leather. Keep your kit in top condition with some bowstring wax to protect your string from the elements. If you’re looking to complete the traditional archer's aesthetic, a brown leather quiver will pair beautifully with the DOA armguard’s unique patina.
