Any recommendations?  Youth gloves are too small...

Thanks in advance!

Check out American Leathers Crossover glove. Thier crossover has narrow finger stalls. They are about as narrow as I have found. You can always put a few stitches in it for a custom fit if needed.

Bateman makes a glove with lace-up stalls that's a great glove.  Cordovan, too.  A bit pricey, but my favorite glove by far...the G9 model.

Small Dura-Glove from 3Rivers is what I use.  Small BW glove is also very narrow.

Damascus gloves fit tight will work for small hands and fingers.

Griff, pm me an addy and I'll send you a once-used one to try. It's a small adult leather with velcro wrist.

Wow, once again, great input from the Trad community! Thank you all!

Now looking for some input on the nylon vs leather - 'prolly do a separate question thread.  

I really like the "feel" the leather seems to give me. I am working my up in bow weight though, and want a little more between me and the string than my starter, single ply leather glove provides - plus it has stretched and become too loose on my fingers. Then ya gotta wonder what the feel difference is between cordovan and regular.

Seems like a person is going to go through several gloves till hitting the one that works best.

Thanks, everyone!

The regular suede one from Neet Archery is pretty narrow and they are fairly inexpensive.

BW Glove, the PDQ model. Try it before you spend the extra money for a crossover.
