Keeping Shoot hand warm

[Near Miss]

I don't wear a glove on my shooting hand.  Depending on the clothing I am wearing, I will either keep my shooting hand in my jacket pocket (equipped with a chemical handwarmer), or I will use those sheepskin mitts sold by Screaming Eagle.

Hand muff works great, with or without a chemical hand warmer.  Another solution I like is wearing a thin glove (silk, Under Armour, polypropylene, etc.) under a heavy wool liner mitten designed to fit inside a heavy chopper mitt.  I don't wear the chopper, just the wool liner.  Wells Lamont used to make a nice heavy unlined wool mitt.  It is easy to slip my hand out of the mitt as a deer approaches.  Farm supply stores can be a good source of realatively cheap heavy weight wool mittens.  Cedar Falls should have a few farm supply stores in the area!

I use to wear a heavy glove, with a my tab.  Just slip the glove off to take the shot.

Now I shoot with a glove. I've found that I can simply keep my hand in my pants pocket and keep it warm.  On colder days I wear a thin wool or fleece glove and I can still keep it in my pants pocket.  I

I also have a pair of Screaming Eagle muffs. They are made of unshorn sheephide. I throw a hand warmer in there and I've sat with warm hands in -15 F. If these can keep my hands warm here in The Great White North I'm sure they'll work for you. I do wear a light glove inside on the coldest days because even a few minutes out of the muffs will freeze your hand when it's below zero!

Has anyone used the full Glove with lined shooting fingers that 3Rivers sells?

I would have to 2nd a muff. I don't like to shoot with a glove on either hand and when the time comes to shoot I just slide the muff off to the side.

I always go with the hand warmer muff.  No glove on my shooting hand and a light one on the bow hand.  Anything more and my hands start sweating in the muff and when you take them out they freeze.--Patrick

A number of years ago Paul Brunner had an archery catalog which sold, among other things, Screaming Eagle Treestands, Swanni wool, etc. He also sold a sheepskin pouch (fur inside) that you hang from your belt and stick your hand(s) in. It was called the wooly something-or-other. I still have mine and it is the only thing that will keep your shooting hand warm when it is brutally cold. You can probably make one if you can find a piece of unsheared sheepskin. Wear a thin liner glove under your shooting glove or with a tab to wick moisture away from your hand.

I use these:

 

They're Military Extreme Cold Weather Mittens.  

I hate to wear gloves, so I just keep my hands in these and slip them off when I need to get ready to shoot.  Roomy enough to slip off easily, and toasty warm.

Shooting glove and a fingerless glove over it.

I just use a couple hot hands in that pocket.  I'll have to look in the the thin under armour glove, but the hot hands do work well for me.
