wristguard
Archer's arm shield
A wristguard is a protective band or brace worn around the wrist.
In sports like rollerblading, skateboarding, and snowboarding, wristguards prevent injury during falls.
Archers wear wristguards to shield the inner wrist from bowstring snap.
Some are rigid plastic; others are padded fabric with supportive stays.
