Me thinks you are too aggressive with your fast swings.........I hate the cuff arm band too and try not to use it.

I tend to agree, I've hunted for 10+ years and never broken a cuff. Slow down with the swings. You ain't cutting grass, or killing fish... Make your swings 5 seconds from side to side and listen for those soft signals.

I don't know but I think the strap must provide some extra strength. If you really can't stand it, you still might use it with some slack in it.

When I repair model airplanes, I use fiberglass cloth (sort of like a big bandaid) and epoxy on both sides of the break. I would overlap the break by 3/4" or so. I rough up the plastic first with some sandpaper so the epoxy holds better. Probably need two layers of cloth or more depending on the thickness of the cloth. Maybe three layers. LOL Probably need to do one side and let it cure then flip it over otherwise the cloth will sag off from the gravity. Don't use the five minute stuff--it is much weaker and is not totally waterproof. Ace hardware has a good selection. JB Weld is tough but a bit thick. Wear rubber gloves. Cloth weight maybe 3 ounce per yard. Sand off any sharp edges after curing or if you are good you can lay a piece of saran wrap (any thin plastic) over the glue and carefully smooth it down. I wait until it starts to set up first. Leave the plastic on until cured. It will look professional.

Well I think I fixed my cuff problems, I purchased a PVC pipe the same size as cuff and cut it to fit the inside and used two part epoxy to glue it. Spray painted it black and re-applied the foam strip, I do not use the cuff strap. I have used this for over a week and no problems !
