Questions people ask

Should one sleeve or two be bought?
Many players wear a sleeve only on their shooting arm, so a single sleeve is common. Pairs are also easy to find.

It should feel snug but comfortable when the arm moves freely. Following the size chart, which is based on arm measurements, is the best guide.
