What gloves do you wear during the early season?

[Chris Surtees]

Finding good gloves for cold weather is easy but I have yet to find a decent glove for early season.

Looking for something that is durable and has some form of grip dot palm. I really need a glove that provides traction so my hand does not slide around in the throat of the bow.

So that have you found that works?

I wear jersey camo gloves during all seasons unless it is extremely cold. You can get then with the grip dots. I cut the three shooting fingers out and wear it over my Damascus glove. Been doing it for 20 years or more.

I used the Under Armour liner glove pretty much all season! It has the grip your looking for and its not raised little dots, its flat thin rubber in the shape of their logo.

I wear a pair of uninsulated deer skin gloves.  They work great and then I dont have to worry about remembering my shooting glove as well.

I use the jersey cotton camo until the late season forces me to use warmer gloves. This light cotton works as effective camo, and mosquitos don't bite through it. If you use the ones with the rubberized palm and fingers, be careful not to let the rubber come in contact with your arrow shaft as you draw. Sometimes you get a very audible squeek.

I use the Under Armour as well. Lightweight and durable.

I have some lightweight knit camo fingerless gloves with dots on the palm and fingers that I got from Kmart a few years back.

Deerskin gloves.  I wear mine year-round.....I may wear something warmer while hunting in cold weather but the deerskin gloves aren't far away.

Jersey gloves with three fingers cut half way off for my shooting glove.  It got down to 13 degrees here this year when I was camping/hunting.  I know it gets colder than that in other places, I lived in Alaska for 4 years but for Arkansas that is fridgid.

I normally hunt from a stand and periodically hold the bow with my left hand across my knees and put my right hand in my vest pocket for awhile then swap hands.  Works for me.

The Under Armour gloves look like they might fit the bill.

I used to use the jersey gloves but the last couple years I was going through 4 or 5 pairs a season. Just seems that they are not as well made as they used to be.

Thanks for the information.

Cabelas makes these real thin all leather palm and fingers with some camo stretch material backs. They are cheap, you get a good string feel and you can put them under other glove/glomits  for late season. Kinda reminds me of a golf glove. Good Luck

Cabelas also has the camoskinz with rubber dots on palm, light weight, & for warm weather.  i've used them & under armour.

[Chris Surtees]

Thanks for the info Mike and Randy. The Cabela's gloves look really nice but I had some issues with them over the last year and refuse to deal with them anymore.

I am going to give the UA gloves a shot. With being able to hunt year around in GA I hope to only go through a pair or two next season.

If anyone else has a favorite I am all ears!

Mossy Oak has a really thin glove that grips well that I have used, can't remember the name, but really like it, just cut out the 3 fingers on the RH and slip over my glove for shooting, but in cooler weather just wear jersey gloves and regular thin cotton gloves in summer, no problem with slip once you apply pressure to string and does ensure your hand goes into the right position on the bow grip!  Mark

Harbour Freight has some really inexpensive black gloves that can be use as liners or alone-like $1.50 they are some type of rubber and really grip-paper thin-I use a tab and they are working even in fairly cold conditions.Ken
