What Shooting Gloves Actually STAY PUT?

[Nala]

I am having problems with shooting gloves and finding one that doesn't start to creep off of my fingers after shooting a few times.  It never fails, I shoot 3 arrows and then have to pull my glove back down.  To improve these gloves I will cut the end of the finger stalls off.  This seems to work to a degree, but it isn't the solution.  So far the best glove I have is the Damascus.  The problem is that they don't last too long.

I have one from Alaska Bowhunting Supply, which is an AWESOME company by the way, that is a suede type of material and it seems to work pretty well.  I have another coming from ABS, the Skookum Nubuk full palm.  I am hopeful that this will be the "MAGIC GLOVE" but I am not getting too excited.

There are still gloves that I haven't tried like the Dura Glove, the Super Glove, the American Leathers Gloves and the gloves from Black Widow.  I hear a lot about the American Leathers Gloes, but have never had the chance to even handle one.  I hate to spend that much money and it end up not working.  I wouldn't want to try and return it after shooting it.  Has anyone tried the gloves from Black Widow?

I thought I would post this and ask if anyone else has had this kind of trouble with gloves and what they ended up doing.  Is there a "MAGIC GLOVE" out there that I can buy, put on and shoot and not have to worry about pulling it back into place?

Any thoughts?
Maybe I need to switch to tabs....

Thanks for the help and your time.

In my experience they all slip, but I have a cure that I've used for several years. Go to your local Bowling alley and get a jar of "Sure Grip" I think they still call it that, anyhow its used to keep the ball from slipping off your fingers. Put a little dab on your finger tips and insert into glove, no more slip !!!!

By far my Bigshot gloves feel and perform the best . they do seem to creep a little after a while shooting but I just tap my fingers against my leg and good as new . Fred

I ended up with a Plain old Rosin Bag from the Local Bowling Alley! No More Slippage!!

I had to buy a full palm glove to prevent slipping, and the palm stretched so it still slips.

But my tab doesn't!  Tab for me.

The glove I really want is the same one that oneshot1 uses.  But my gloves can feel pain and numbness.  Next I will try triple serving to see if I can use my god given gloves and lose my tab.

I use school glue glue stick inside my Howard Hill gloves. I moisten my fingertips before I put them in the stalls and they stick like glue. A simple twist gets them off and it it not messy at all.

Horace Ford recommended it in 1859 and so did Saxton Pope in 1923.

Hate to tap the thigh while on stand, that is why I shoot a tab.

I have been having good luck with a Martin deerskin glove. It fits pretty snug. However, I am thinking about going back to my tab. The tab just seems smoother to me.

i to have a martin deer skin glove and find it real good.

I use a super glove. As far as fit i wear a large but buy a medeum and soake it in water then put it on and strech it out untill it fits, it takes some work somtines but it gives me a nice tight  fit with no slipage

I have a Duraglove, and it never slips for me. I got one that fit snug. Then I wetted it and shot until it formed to my fingers. I shot it all summer and this fall. It still fits great and never slips.

Duraglove, skookum, superglove, martin deer skin glove, are all make by Berlin in Wisconsin and have a deerskin body with different tips.  Deer skin stretches a fair amount.  Get one that fits snug from the start to allow for the stretch.  XL fits perfect, but I get larges to allow for the stretch.

American leathers is the same way. James told me when I got mine was to get one that fit snug and then condition the leather and it will stretch a little.  That way the stalls have a snug fit and don't slip.  A glove that does not fit snug when new will stretch and start to slip over time as the glove breaks in. dino
