I like the Duraglove from 3 Rivers. The cordura tips are slick and tough. The deerskin glove is comfortable. I buy them on the small side then wet the glove and shoot it until it's just about dry. Then I have a custom-fit glove at a resonable price.

American Leathers Big Shot. The best glove out there in my opinion.

Super Glove from Alaska Bowhunting Supply is my pick.

One thing I'd reccomend, regardless of which glove you get--find a vendor at a shoot that has them and try it on first.  I don't know of any glove that will be the exact same fit, even if they are marked the same size.  I've tried sending in a trace of my hand, and that didn't work either.  I'm very picky about how my glove fits--want it so tight when new that I can barely get my fingers in it--that way, when it's broken in, it's just right.  Only way I know to do that is to try them on first.

The Dura Glove from 3 rivers and The Grizzly from Braveheart are Great Gloves. I like the Big Shot for heavy poundage or ALOT of repeated shooting but the other 2 are better in terms of string feel and accuracy for me anyway.

I like the full shot from American Leathers it takes a little getting used to but will last a lot longer than a damascus Good Luck Delin

I have a Big Shot bison and a Slick Shot from American Leathers.  My 16 year old son has a Skookum deerskin from Alaska Bowhunting.  I like all three.  They are tough and easy to get a good release.
