Shout out to sponsor American Leathers!

John had this crossover glove made without the plastic in the fingers for me and he said he used the thicker kangaroo for the finger stalls. I have to say, this Kangaroo leather is something else, very high quality stuff and it looses an arrow perfectly. The leather seems a hair thinner than my Buffalo crossover on the fingers but it is definitely a tougher variety. Very impressed with the quality of construction on these gloves.

The best glove out there!!

John and Lori are top notch hard working folks, the glove ? Well lets just say "all others pale in comparison".

Great people to deal with.

Doesn’t get much better then the Turners. Just ordered a couple new Big shot gloves on Thursday.

[tmattson]

Getting ready to order one. How does the Kangaroo tips compare to the Bigshot with the webbing, is it just as "slippery" for the smooth release?

I don't think it is quite as slippery as the nylon but it is definitely more so than the Buffalo crossover. It's a slick leather for sure. Tight grain. I recently took my glove and soaked the tips in warm water and rubbing alcohol for an hour, put it in the clothes dryer with some shirts and this resulted in the stalls being shrunk down a little and just enough to conform to the fingers for a perfect custom fit. This kangaroo glove doesn't have the plastic in it like the normal crossover gloves do. At some point I'm going to order another one just like it.

I have had mine since he started making them, about 5 years ago. I like it better than the Buffalo with the nylon tips. The Roo hasn’t stretched like the Buff did. Even with those nylon inserts I can feel the string just enough. Yes, I use my glove most of the time.

There is not a better way to support the economy than buying handmade, American made products, and a new AL glove is a good way to start...... and some Dryad limbs... and a pair of Poppen moccasins....

Being new here I am glad to see this old post. I am also new to recurves (1 year) and discovered I really like a glove over tabs. When I was younger I shot recurves with tabs and never tried a glove. I have been looking at AL gloves but the price gave me pause. I e-mailed them about questions and John said he wanted to call me. After a bit of talking he suggested the Kangaroo Crossover for me so I ordered one. It’s good to see a post like this after spending that much on a glove.

If you don't like the inserts, you can remove a couple stitches and slide them out. That's what I did with my Buffalo crossover. My Kangaroo crossover doesn't have them in and works great.

American Leather glove options and the proprietors are the best in the business and truly a custom made glove if you so desire.

I ended up ordering a left handed kangaroo glove back in April. It is absolutely the way to go. It replaced a Buffalo glove that I've had for 10+(?) years. The Buffalo glove was great, but the kangaroo is even better.   Like everybody else, I literally have a pile of gloves, tabs, and finger stalls, from just about every maker. American Leather products are the best, and the kangaroo glove is the best of the best.

....and for limbs... I ended up with a pair of Javaman double carbon longbow limbs from 3Rivers, for my TDX15 riser.... also well worth the money!....

1Canvas..... I just noticed this is your first post..... a big Tradgang Welcome to you.   

[M60gunner]

I like mine so much I bought another. My original had a pin size hole in one finger. I decided it was time for a new one and I have no spare. When I ordered I asked for longer straps. No issue, was asked about glove I have, told them about hole. They offered to repair for $20 plus shipping. Now anytime someone wants to give up a sale I feel they have my best interest at heart. Customer service, it’s what keeps me coming back.

What do you like most about not having the plastic inserts in your glove vs one with inserts.

I have used American Leatyher gloves a lot in the past.But have been shooting mostly tabs for quite awhile.

Was thinking about trying a glove again and like the looks of your glove

[Alexander Traditional]

I saw this old post brought back,and it got me to thinking. I have a Big Shot,and I like it all right. I had a kangaroo,and for some reason I didn't like it. I called American Leathers yesterday,and ordered a Crossover,been wanting to try that one for a while in buffalo hide.

More feel for the string.
