Sources for traditional Cordovan tab gloves
« on: January 09, 2018, 02:29:00 PM »
I have tried various tabs, both three under and split as well as several style gloves including those with cordura tips and have found a classic cordovan tipped glove works best for me.  I shoot split much better and while the release and accuracy is good with the cordura tipped glove it is often louder and I get more frequent poor releases.  That being said the glove in the link has worked great but the durability is awful.  The tip stitching wears out in less than a few months.  Does anyone have any recommendations for something similar to the glove in the provided link that will hold up better?

I think the    E W Bateman   cordovan glove is what you’re looking for. It costs more than the one you linked, but it’s worth it.

Looks to be what I am looking for.  The one I am using keeps wearing out our the side of the finger so I think these should work.

Thanks!

Ive used tons of gloves, started making my own or replacing the leather tips. The one you linked is a bad design imo. I never use a glove were the stitching is located in the working area of the tip it wears the stitching.
Life is to short to pass up anything that could potentially be bow wood!
