glove help

[pamike]

Does anyone know where to get a shooting glove that covers your whole hand?  I would like to get one for cold weather hunting. I thought I remembered seeing one on MBB2, and i am guessing that it is a full shot with a liner glove. That would work, but there has to be others.

Thoughts?

3Rivers used to carry a dura-glove like your talking about. Not sure if they still have it. I never saw it in the catalog, just on their website.

I just keep my hands in my pockets to keep them warm before the shot. I don't like wearing gloves at all when shooting a bow.

That is what I thought to, I'll check website - I just looked at catalog.

i'm just the opposite I don't like shooting without gloves.  The only thing i had prolems with was grip with my bow hand my glove kept sliding on the handle so to fix that problem I sewed a piece of innertube to my palm and that does great.  It grips great but is still really flexiable.  You were asking about a full hand glove.  I usually work on a limited  budget and the full hand glove is expensive to me, plus I get bored a lot and like to tinker with stuff.  I took an early season huntin glove and sewed a piece of leather on each shooting finger and it actually worked pretty good.  But what I do now that I like the best so far is  I took a glove and simply cut the three fingers at the middle knuckle and put my shooting glove on my hand like normal. lolol  Sorry thats a long explanation for not much information

Might be that simple?

I have shot unlined thin leather gloves on both hands. They even come in deer skin. Most of the time I just use a thin fabric glove on my bow hand, my regular shooting glove on the other and put my hands in one of those hand muff things with heater pack.

This probably isn't gonna help you but it's not unusual for me to hunt the late moose season or for rabbits at -20, -30 F.  When I do I have a pair of huge mittens, called mushers mitts.  they wear them in the idatarod dog race.  Mine are tied off to my coat and while I'm walking or sitting I have my hands in those.  When it's time to shoot my hands slip out easily, silently and quickly.  I wear my American leathers shooting glove the whole time.

I vote for the heated muff too. I wear my shooting glove when bow hunting and no gloves at all when rifle or pistol hunting. I find it so much easier to handle my binoculars, triggers, coffee thermos, etc bare handed. Then they go back in that toasty warm muff.

Seems odd no one makes a five fingered shooting glove but I'll keep looking. I did it again last night. Deer come in - hands come out of warm pockets - deer take forever to get to where I can shoot - very cold hands!! I must just have wimpy hands - doesn't take long for mine to get cold and it was only 30 deg.

I have been using deer and elk skin gloves for the past 15 years while hunting in all types of weather.  They work as a shooting glove and keep my hands warmer than regular cloth gloves.  Along with a handwarmer muff I can keep my hands comfortable in weather down to -20.  The gloves also work to keep scent from being transferred to tree steps, brush/grass, etc.  I don't hunt in chilly weather without them and won't go to a tree stand without them on.

I use a rag wool liner glove and cut the three fingers out so it will slide over my Big Shot glove.  I think you could use one of the styles of mittens where the mitten part pulls back to the back of the hand revealing a fingerless glove inside.  Of course you would wear your regular shooting glove underneath  the fingerless part.  Manzella Glove makes one that holds the mitten back with a small magnet.

I basically have always done the same thin.I either used wool Army liner gloves or rag wool gloves and cut the ends off 3 fingers.I don't cut much off as they can eventually shrink a little.I just cut them to the first crease on the finger.This allows me to use the same shooting glove for hunting that I shoot with every day.Once I get used to the feel of a glove,I hate to change.

American leathers emailed me that they will have a 5 finger glove by the end of the year!

I will see what they come up with and until then I will give the wool glove idea a try.

Thanks

Has anybody used these glove to hunt with?  http://www.sitkagear.com/products/solids/necessities/gloves/shooter-glove/   I have been hunting with my string wraped just below the nock, using wool yarn. Then I just use my regular thin hunting glove and an Ice Breaker hand warmer muff.

Here is a set I doctored from Kuiu. I just added nylon webbing to the tips.
Alaskan Bowhunting had full gloves which I liked.They had a set of fleece  which I still use in colder weather.
