Bowstring friction during draws creates calluses and soreness on the string fingers. High-volume shooting leads to raw, painful fingertips.
Finger tabs work but require break-in and change string feel. Gloves reduce sensitivity. Many archers prefer the direct-string feel that tape provides.
You need protection that cushions against string friction while maintaining the release feel you've trained.
Guard-Tex provides a custom-fit alternative to leather tabs. Build up exactly the thickness you need. No break-in period required.
The thin cotton lets you feel the string through the tape. Your release timing and sensitivity stay intact. No learning curve.
Add layers where you need more protection. Remove layers where you want more feel. Customize for your draw weight and shooting style.
Leather tabs require break-in and reduce feel. Gloves are bulky. Guard-Tex provides customizable protection with the direct string connection many archers prefer.
Wrap the string-contact areas of your draw fingers. Match thickness to your draw weight — heavier bows need more layers.
If protection feels inadequate, add a layer. If feel is too muffled, remove a layer. Customize throughout your session.
Unwrap after shooting. No adhesive means painless removal. Inspect fingers and adjust protection for next time.
Two to three layers for most recurve shooters. Adjust based on draw weight and shooting volume. Higher draw weights typically need more protection.
Yes, but most compound shooters use releases. For finger shooters, Guard-Tex provides the same protection regardless of bow type.
Guard-Tex is thin enough that most archers maintain their normal release. After a few shots, you'll adjust to the minimal added layer.
Wraps anything. Sticks to nothing. American made since 1935.
