Shooting with winter gloves and no tab?

[WhistlingBadger]

It has long puzzled the heck out of me that nobody seems to make a winter shooting glove:  One with good insulations, but fingertips made of slick, string-releasing leather.  Maybe even a convertible mittens with a shooting glove built-in.  Wouldn't that be great for cold weather hunting.  Some of you guys that sell archery stuff, get on that, will you?  Thanks.

I shoot the same glove the entire year.  A glove on the bare hand mostly.  A muff makes it bearable in the cold weather.  If I'm roving, I have a wool glove with 3 fingers cut off.  I never was comfortable with a tab.

What works for me is wearing a thin cotton jersey or polypro type glove on my tab hand. Then slide the tab on as if not wearing a glove. You may have to stretch the hole a bit larger on the tab for your finger (depending on tab style). I am a split finger shooter so I use that style tab. I have a few tabs laying around and I reserve the stretched ones just for this purpose. It does NOT affect arrow flight in the least for me and I have very large hands (XXL). The other hand gets to wear whatever works to hold the bow and not affect the arrow. I keep hand warmers in my pocket if needed. Hope this is useful!

I use a shooting glove, but for this discussion it doesn't matter.

I use a muff with Hot Hands warmers inside to keep my hands warm while sitting & waiting. I keep my shooting glove on & stuff both hands into the muff, & they stay toasty warm!

But, when I'm going to and from a hunting spot, I don't have the shooting glove on-I put on a pair of thin deerskin gloves for the walk in or out. While sitting, I stuff them inside of my shirt to keep them warm.

I practice shooting with those, as well as my normal shooting glove, and I'm now used to shooting with both. The shooting glove is thicker and I feel the string less, but for the one shot that I might take with the deerskin glove, it's definitely doable!

I sometimes use an insulated fingerless glove while wearing my shooting glove on the string hand. I have two pair of thick, Redhead camo gloves that match, one with full fingers and one pair that’s fingerless.  Just mix and match….  I’ve also used a shorter tab with the fingerless glove that hangs up on my knuckle.  Works well.

I fully agree that Noone can say what works for you other than you and your experiences...

 With that said, all we can do is give you "our experiences/preferences"...
     These are mine.
I'm admittedly Hot blooded , and love cold/snowy weather. I do NOT like heavy gloves/mitts and over gloves. It completely changes the FEEL of the bow/grip connection for me on the bow hand , and makes an oddity even with the release /draw hand the way it feels/touching the anchor points/face...Yes , you could practice with these gloves and likely get more "comfortable" with how they feel.....Just not for me.

For me, No glove /mitt other than my leather shooting glove..I love hand muffs . Even in well below -0 temps it works for me.

That is just another bowhunters experience, your mileage may vary !


  Best with your quest my friend..........
