"Leather treating" question...

[L. E. Carroll]

Like lots of you, I dilligently treat my hunting boots [ Wolverine Archers ] with Pitchblend and did again tonight in anticipation of a "very wet" late archery season on the WA coast... Along with that, I did a couple of armguards... my question arrises when it comes to treating my shooting gloves with pitchblend

I rubbed some into my shooting glove last year. In my experience, it made the fingertips sticky and took a lot of shooting to get it nice and slick again.

Its good stuff for boots, armguards...whatever, but personally Ill just stick with neetsfoot for my glove next time.

Mink oil paste. Coon fat works good too, but gets a little stinky over time.

Thanks' for the answers guys...looks like I'll be leaving it off of the shooting glove.

Gene,

I use it on my Big Shot.  I used the oil version of Pitch Blend and didn't get any on the web overlays of the stalls.  It hasn't affected the shooting characteristics at all.  It has helped with sweaty hands in Summer and rain or snow of Fall / Winter.  If you only have the paste, try using a Q tip to apply it when around the finger stalls to avoid the bow string areas.  The paste will protect the body of the glove really well.

I generally wash my Damascus glove a few times a year to remove any accumulated salts from sweat. While wet I put it on my hand to shape it, remove it and let it dry. Once dry I add pitch blend and hand rub it in real good. The rubbing causes friction and heat and that helps the pitch blend soak in. I then wipe any excess off.

I inadvertantly ran my tab through the washer and drier, it was in a pocket. I just treated it with pitch blend and it is good as new.
