Man I hate to be the bearer of said tidings but I purchased the Skookum Glove around the 1st of this month and have already worn through the covering on the middle finger! I shoot a lot I know but I shoot 45# mostly and a cheap glove will last me several months. I bought the Skookum from a web site and contacted them. They suggested that I call the manufacturer first since it was obviously a manufacturer's defect. Understandable, eliminate the middleman, get the glove faster. When I called the manufacturer they wouldn't even hear that it was from one of their dealers, just that I didn't purchase it from them. That lady had me so tickled and finally I was laughing so hard at her hem-hawing that I just had to hung up the phone. Don't they use suppliers like everyone else? Long story short, when I called the supplier back, told him what happened, and he started laughing too. He said he'd go ahead and send me a replacement that he had more confidence in, even sending me a post-paid envelope to send the old one back in. Now THAT'S great customer service!
