Damascus Gloves

[eagle24]

I have two Damascus gloves that are a few years old that I love.  I have purchased three more and they are totally different material.  Two are really thin and the other is thicker but in just a few days I wore a hole through one of the fingers.  Anyone else experienced this inconsistency in materials with the Damascus gloves?

check out the premium grizzly at braveheart archery... awesome glove for 20.00..hes on the sponsor list.

Is the grizzly a thick glove?  I like a thin glove that I can feel the string with, but a couple of the newer Damascus gloves I bought were super thin.

My Damascus Glove has done the same thing.. I'm going to try something else..

the grizzly isnt thick..but it is not as thin as the damascus.. i would say it is right in between.. the tips on the glove have a real nice material that allows for a real nice slick release.. but you still feel the string nicely.. you can view a picture on braveheart archery site..check the sponsor list.. Tim carries quality stuff and has great service and shipping.. my hand size is right between a medium and a large..so i opted for the medium.. it has stretched a bit and now fits perfectly.. i like this glove so much im thinking of buying a couple more in case they ever decide to discontinue.... look under grizzly leathers on the braveheart archery site...

e24,

I'm shooting some Damascus that I added some more leather inside cuz they were too thin for me.  I recently tried the 3 Rivers Duraglove.  Good feel and really slick, but thinner than I like.  Since you like thin, I think you'd like the feel and release and should hold up longer than the Damascus.  Give em a try.  I'd sell you mine, but it's already got a new owner.  Have a Big Shot on the way.  Steve

I've always liked the thin damascus gloves as well, mostly because the thinner material would'nt "groove", and I could feel the string better.  I found that by using tie-on nocks (dental floss) I got a lot more longevity out of my damascus gloves.   I just purchased one of 3-rivers dura-gloves to try, and must say  it  gives a real smooth release with the cordura finger tips.   It should'nt "groove" either, at least that's what they say.   The leather is a bit thicker than I like, but I'm gonna give it a good go anyway.

i wore a hole through mine, but id had it a while, and i believe it was because my fingernail rubbed right there...


its a $13 glove, what do you expect?  ill eventually buy a good glove, either that or shoot barefinger, im working my fingers up to that....

Greg,
I just ordered one each of a Super Glove with cordovan tips and the 3 Rivers exclusive glove with the Kevlar tips. I will shoot and report back on which one works for me. If I do not seem to like either of them that well I will try the Grizzly mentioned above.

Just don't use a glove, like me.

Yea I can go through a couple damascus gloves in a year.  Now I just use the damascus glove for hunting.  I use a BlackWidow 3 under tab for all my target shooting.
