Title: Question about the Kustom King gloves
Post by: mountain lion on July 14, 2015, 05:59:00 PM
Has anyone tried the deerskin glove with the cordovan leather tips or the speed glove or the black nylon glove? I need a new glove and was wanting to try one of these three. I have be 3rivers super glove now but was wandering about these. Thanks

I really like the BearPaw speed glove , but I only get one season out of them before they come apart. I started shooting the gloves that black widow sells , 1 season down still and shooting the same glove for this upcoming season. I am very pleased.

I used the bearpaw deerskin glove for a year now, and I am very happy with it! When this one is worn , I will buy the same one again! But they seem to last very long....

I recently picked up a Bear Paw black nylon glove, not sure of the model name. I like it, but it's a little warm for summer shooting. Seems to have a thin fleece type lining. I'll definitely use it this fall when it cools down. Looks well made.

I shoot the deerskin glove with the cordovan leather tips. It is made a little bulky in the third finger, but works well for me.
It is the easiest on the fingers I have found.

As a retailer who sells Kustom King gloves, I sincerely appreciate everyone providing the reviews.  Since Kustom King has their gloves made by Bear Paw, there is really no difference between a Kustom King glove and a Bear Paw glove.  Of course, there are different models.  One of my favorites is the deerskin with cordovan overlays.  I will admit to having a preference for Neet over Bear Paw.  With gloves it can be a personal thing.

I have and use the leather speed glove and 3Rivers. I like them all.  I used someone else's all nylon BP glove. Really liked it I was surprised.    However no one seems to have one available at this time.  As per comment above not lasting,  BP has corrected problem with materials according to website. Their leather glove and 3 Rivers are very similar. Good feel for string.  Good fit.  Excellent release.  I tend to prefer 3 Rivers just a tad as it is just a little more supple.

The Bear Paw Black Glove is my favorite ever.  Perfect for Florida, you can get it wet with no issues.  Someone said it was warm but I'd rather sweat in a textile glove than leather.  It is great for light or heavy bows with enough protection but excellent string feel.  It stays supple in the finger tips and the tip layers are big enough for a deep hook.  Its also lightweight so once it's on you forget it's even there.

I am breaking in a new Neet deer skin glove. So far so good. Offers enought protection with thin fast flight with 47lb bow but still sensitive to the release.
