Full Shot American leathers

[Jakeemt]

Anyone use this glove?  Been thinking about plopping down the dough and wondered how ou guys like it. I currently use a gardening glove with the thumb and pinky removed so wanted something similar. Worked great in the cold just modified a wool glove to fit under it.

Specifically
1)shoot 1-3 dozen arrows a day will it hold up?
2) with the family living off only my income while I my wife is in school money is tight so wanted to buy one that will last awhile and be useable in both summer and winter.
3) how is it for summer time use? Is it at least tolerable? Can't buy 2 see above.


Thanks for your thoughts.

I prefer the Big Shot design. My Full Shot fits very snug, is overly warm for summer use. Any of the American Leather gloves will last a loooong time. If I had to pick just one it would be the Big Shot (I have several of them).

I have one of the Big Shots,it is very well built.

I've got the big shot buffalo and it isn't going to wear out anytime soon.  I would go with that or the elk over the full shot myself. Don't see the need for all the extra leather which may not fit  your hand well anyway and you can save some money and still have an awesome glove. I use mine stumping all year round. The full may be a little too hot for me in the summer. I did dye mine a little darker to match my arm guard. Good luck.

I had the Big shot, now I have the Tuff shot & like it best. It should last a long time, if I don't loose it!

I've been using a Full Shot since last fall. Craftsmanship, material, and design are all excellent; shooting most days a week with it, probably similar number of arrows, I see no signs of wear, just the early breaking in.  I find it extremely comfortable, and prefer the full coverage palm myself. Looks and feels like it will last for years, shooting often.

Haven't had any overheating with them (my hands don't run hot, so that's me), and find they add some comfort in colder temps.
Talk to Steve at American Leathers; he'll definitely get you into the correct size. He'll custom make one if necessary, or desired.

Big shot - excellent and last a long time. Can still wear wool glove underneath in winter - just cut off three finger tips. Works great!

AL Crossover! never thought i'd spend that much on a glove, but that thing is awesome.

really like the fact that the nylon is on the inside of the tips, and leather on the outside. great workmanship. really love it

Everyone is different..LOL.  I have the crossover and like my fullshot best.. I've hade it for 3 years and it's still going strong.

I shoot a lot if this helps

Fullshot for me, tried the bigshot but still like the fullshot better.

Big shot for me. I think the full shot would be to hot during the summer as I shoot all year around. Like said before you can wear any glove you just have to cut off the three finger tips.

These gloves really last and are comfy. If you tried to make one yourself I'd bet you would gladly fork over the cash.  Good leather, years of heavy use, and really stay put.

I usually try to get one at a show where I can try them on.  Just a little deviation in stitch location and the size changes dramatically.  So, a L isn't always the same as another L.... it's just tough to get them perfectly the same every time, but this is good because we are all different and like different fits.

I like my full shot have shot for 2 years going strong thousands of arrows.

Shot a buffalo hide one for a while and could not get use to it maybe I just need to shoot more to break it in better??

When I made the switch to LH, I bought the full shot so I wouldn't be tempted to throw the glove on the other hand when things got tough. Honestly, I thought I wasted my money at first. It just felt so different from the cheap damascus that I was used to. I stuck it out and now can't shoot anything else. So much so that I bought a second one as a back up because I have been known to misplace things during hunting season. It is comfortable, durable, and the nylon tips make it smooth as butter coming off the string.
Take care,
