american leathers glove?

[LA Trapper]

Yes, I have 3 of them also.  Two of the elk and one of the wet shot for bowfishing.  Buy one, it will last.  I know Bill said he had problems.  I am down in Louisiana, same climate and I have had no issues.  Had all three for years.

I just ordered the buffalo big shot. They mailed it yesterday. Can't wait to try this glove!

The only problem I have with the Big Shot is the nylon on the outside of the fingers develops grooves very quickly. If the glove fingers could remain smooth, it would be the perfect glove.

Another vote for the Crossover. While I too thought the price was a bit much, its obvious it will outlast me and is an excellent glove.

I may shoot a BIT better with a tab but a glove is just more "huntable" to me.

Duncan, that is why I ordered a crossover. A buddy has the big shot and I saw the groves. I cant see the crossover doing so with the inserts.

I had another insert fingered glove custom made I loved but one of the fingers stretched out too much somehow and would come off each shot.

Still trying to shrink it with no luck but my go to is the Crossover now.

God Bless

I've had several AL gloves.  When I moved to SE Alaska in 2003 and discovered that I'd be hunting in the rain.  ALL THE FREAKIN TIME!!! I ordered two of the wet shots.  I absolutely love the feeling of the neoprene finger stalls.  The just custom fit themselves to your fingers.  I was mortified when the stopped making them and overjoyed when they started to again.  I still shoot the original two wet shots I bought.  8 YEARS AGO!  I love the look and even the smell of the leather gloves but for durability, fit and function, I just don't see how you can beat the wet shot.

I ordered the buffalo. Talked to john and decided to go that way. We'll see.....

SlowBowke,
           Have you used the crossover enough to form an opinion on the finger groove issue? For the past year I have been using the Black Widow PDQ Glove, it will form grooves, but doesnt seem to hang on the string like the Big Shot. I am thinking of ordering a crossover, just would like your insights. Thanks.

I have used a Big Shot glove for 7 years. I am on my third. Lost the other two...long story. One of the better shooters in Colorado "Ray Cook" turned me on to it. I am not that partial to the glove...I only wear it when I want to comfortably pull back and hold the string and then hit what I am aiming at

Used a ton of different gloves and tabs over the years.  Tried a big shot several years back and retired all the others. It is all I use now, and strongly recommend it!

I'm a big Big Shot fan too!    Great quality!

I didn't like the fact that the nylon doesn't cover the side of the fingers developed a groove and frayed. I'd touch it up with the torch now and then to keep it smooth but it would always come back.  Now shooting the Bear Paw speed glove sold by Kustom King. Great glove, nylon is thinner and comes up halfway around the finger. Better feel and better release for me. And only $20
