Also agree the quality is less on the new one but still better than most gloves.

I shoot a Berlin glove from 3 Rivers.  It has an extra piece of leather over the finger tips which is nice, but it is not too stiff to feel the string. The only thing I don't like is the price and the shipping.

More padding than the Damascus is probably going to be the Berlin. That will get you a little more.  I have a bear paw black glove and like that a lot.  I think it has more protection than a Damascus, but not sure how much.  I love the nylon finger tips.  I wouldn’t mind a little more protection.  I am thinking about trying the Dura-glove.  I have had a super glove and American leather glove.  I didn’t like the super glove feel, fit, or deep creases it got.  The American Leather was real nice, but real thick so not much feel.

Bearpaw speed glove is the way I went after using the Grizzly glove for years. It's a tad thicker than your Damascus but not as stiff as a super glove, it kinda falls in the middle of the road for feel and protection.

Sean -
You are probably placing too much pressure on the the string from your ring finger. That can cause you to actually torque the string.Try relaxing the ring finger a little. That may help the soreness.

I know. I did this so badly that I actually developed a callous on the lower side of my ring finger.

I cut the palm part off my dura glove and bearpaw to help lose some of the heat.RC

I have really bad arthritis in my fingers and wrists. I've been using an Alaska Bow Hunting Supplies Super Glove and really like it. Where does it fit in order of protection compared to the other gloves discussed?

I found the super glove to have a medium amount of protection as far as string feel, but not as much as I thought it would when I got it.  It is really hard to say unless you have all the options to try at the same time.  I find my feel changes over time as I get used to different padding amounts.  .  I hated it because for some reason it would cause splits in my skin in the joint of one of my fingers.  Middle finger I think.  It also took on the deepest grove of any glove I have had, and maybe that was why it would split my finger.  I had a American Leather big shot at the time also, and there was no comparison. The big shot had way more padding, release was better, and no issue with splitting my finger.

Thanks for the evaluation. I'll have to try the Big Shot for my next glove.
