Shooting gloves

He recommends rubbing a bit of coconut oil on the surface to preserve and slicken it up.  May only work on nylon surfaces. 


I'm with you Gary, tabs will take a bit of use to get hunting good.  Tournaments will be a great start.

It definitely took me awhile to get used to shooting a tab when I switched but really worked better for me at the time. Part of it was we used to shoot a lot of 3d in the summer and when it was hot and sweating the glove would get really loose while shooting and the next day it would be stiff after it dried. Didn't have that problem with a tab.

I like the same kangaroo glove as Slowbowjoe.  It's made by Legacy Leathers.  Good protection with good feel, even though the leather is comparatively thin.  Going on 4 years with this one, even the Velcro on the wrist is in great shape.  I clean it once a year with saddle soap, let it dry for a day, and respray with Atsko silicone spray.

I have switched to using the Bearpaw speed glove and really like it. Its made with buffalo leather and has nylon fingertips. Its very well made and I think will last for many years.

My favorite has been a glove I bought from Martin archery years ago and still shoot to this day. literaly thousands of shots and still in good shape. Not sure if they still make them or not.

  I used Bearpaw and OMP gloves for quite awhile.  Finally found one of my old Hill XLs and with a little talc, my release feels much smoother.

I started using tabs in the 90's when I first took up the longbow. Gloves tended to develop a crease, which I didn't care for. The tab has not had this problem as much, so now I replace a tab when I lose it as opposed to when the glove has issues. Actually, I don't think I shot any better or worse, whichever one I used.

The Bearpaw Black  Glove is another good one.

My new American Leathers buffalo crossover next to the one with new finger stalls that I just got back from them.  Incredible service and VERY reasonable.  It’s like new and these are fabulous gloves.  Thank you John and Lori for outstanding products and service.

I'm 70 and have likely tried about every glove I came across over the years.  There is no doubt in my mind the Bateman is by far the very best, yeah, you get what you pay for, but I'll likely never need another.

AL all the way!
