Who's got the oldest.......
« on: May 31, 2013, 11:57:00 AM »
.....glove or shooting tab,   that you still regularly use?   I was thinking yesterday evening when I was out back walking through my little 3-D course.....that the glove on my shooting hand is going on 6 years now with no signs of having to retire it.  
How long do your gloves or tabs last you?
If you have an ole' faithful thats been around a Loooooonnnngg time,  is "thoroughly broken in" and you are still shootin' her,  post it up please!  :archer2:

I replaced a glove last year that had lasted for over 20 years and thousands of shots...... Terry

My glove is 5 years old...no biggy but my arm guard is an original from Bighorn that I got in 1989.  I've lost it few times, even in a 40 acre alfalfa field, only to have my brother randomly find it not knowing I had lost it.

Some things are just meant to be!

I still use a S.A.M. (Super Archery Mitt) that I bought at the 1992 Great Lakes Longbow Invitational.
Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm
not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant!

I have 2 Ben Pearson tabs made of Shell Cordovan that I bought as a senior in high school that are still VERY useable.

Don't understand how so many of you keep "loosing" stuff but...

Oh, you wonder when I was a HS senior??  1964   :bigsmyl:

Do any of your gloves happen to be a Damascus? Mine's only a few months old and looking good. Just wondering what to expect from it.
