It has long puzzled the heck out of me that nobody seems to make a winter shooting glove:  One with good insulations, but fingertips made of slick, string-releasing leather.  Maybe even a convertible mittens with a shooting glove built-in.  Wouldn't that be great for cold weather hunting.  Some of you guys that sell archery stuff, get on that, will you?  Thanks.   :laugh:

I shoot the same glove the entire year.  A glove on the bare hand mostly.  A muff makes it bearable in the cold weather.  If I'm roving, I have a wool glove with 3 fingers cut off.  I never was comfortable with a tab.

What works for me is wearing a thin cotton jersey or polypro type glove on my tab hand. Then slide the tab on as if not wearing a glove. You may have to stretch the hole a bit larger on the tab for your finger (depending on tab style). I am a split finger shooter so I use that style tab. I have a few tabs laying around and I reserve the stretched ones just for this purpose. It does NOT affect arrow flight in the least for me and I have very large hands (XXL). The other hand gets to wear whatever works to hold the bow and not affect the arrow. I keep hand warmers in my pocket if needed. Hope this is useful!
