I've always just come back to the basic leather Neet or the calf hair Neet. The regular leather one will groove bad though.

Kangaroo glove I think has a little extra padding in the fingers, but is very thin and tough. I think I get the best release with the kangaroo.
I could take photos of the three and email or text them to you. If you want them pm me.

Shot an American Leathers Full Shot for a couple years... best quality, workmanship, fit and finish, and customer service around. I just couldn't quite get used to the thicker fingertips. Very tempted to try their Kangaroo glove though.

The regular BigShot is softer and very comfortable. The kangaroo is a little stiffer (especially when new) and also very comfortable.
Since first trying the Kangaroo at John's suggestion I've been hooked. I'll never shoot anything else.

Here's a couple of pics. In both the kangaroo is on the right. You can see that the Regular has nylon on the outside of the tip while the Kangaroo has a small,thin piece of nylon between the outside and inside liner.I cannot see the pics.

Can anyone speak to the hot weather characteristics of these gloves. Which would be better for perpetual sweaty weather?

I have always wanted to own one of those American Leather gloves but they just seemed too thick for me every time I tried one.

Let's blame the squeak on the cheap plastic shall we ?
Post by: Charlie Lamb on March 06, 2020, 02:22:34 PM
I can't tell you how many different shooting gloves I've had in the last 60 years. Any noise coming from the glove against the nock is just the nature of leather. You can use an oil leather treatment to end it or what I've been doing is using talcum powder on my glove. It eliminates any squeak and helps combat perspiration. It may also help with a smooth release.
Both Howard Hill and John Schulz powdered their gloves. For the smooth release but it would also kill the squeak.

Heck, several company's sold talc dispensers that field and indoor folks hung on their quiver belts. They would give them a "tap" between arrows when and if they thought they needed it.

I actually used the 3D Dead Down Wind powder for boots on mine. Get some scent elimination and powder affect as well
Try some talc. Little to no scent and after 50 years of use I dont think the deer mind a bit of perfume any way. Its cheaper then some name brand, made for hunters product. Can you say "pool cue chalk"

Thanks for the pics Charlie and everyone's input so far. The American leather gloves look really well made and long lasting. Might have to see if I can try one out somewhere to see if I would like it before I spent the money on one.Big Jim had a good selection of American Leathers gloves at Cloverdale. That’s where I got myCrossover.

What about a touch of coconut oil? Rick recommends that for his tabs.

Why don't you try it and tell us how that works....

I'm with you Gary, tabs will take a bit of use to get hunting good. Tournaments will be a great start.

My new American Leathers buffalo crossover next to the one with new finger stalls that I just got back from them. Incredible service and VERY reasonable. It’s like new and these are fabulous gloves. Thank you John and Lori for outstanding products and service.

I like the Damascus glove because I can feel the string through the glove, it protects my fingers and it's more comfortable than other gloves I've tried.
Post by: RIVERWOLF on November 16, 2024, 07:48:04 PM
I didn't read all the responses , so Hope I'm not repeating info......
First I think bow weight has some weight in choices with a good glove. I used The old Grizzly/wolverine leather gloves for years. (No longer made) I really like the leather one Frank posted (Bearpaw classic) but they are hard to find sometimes .
I picked up a Dura glove when they first came out and love the glove design /durability,and slick release, though the price has went up significantly .
Imho the dura glove is best up to about 60# or so (dependent upon archer) , but for a little more protection you can't go wrong with a Bearpaw Bodnic speed glove.
Very simular designs , but the Bearpaw is more durable with less presure/wear on the fingers...Like all Bearpaw products, very well designed & built. :campfire:
