Straight Handles and Thick Gloves

[ChristopherO]

All spring, summer and fall I practice with either no glove on my bow hand or a thin Jersey glove with my Hill style Martin long bow.  The handle is deeper than I like but I can shoot it well.  But when the cool temps demand a thicker glove the bow feels like a foreign stick in my hand.  Yesterday morning was my first trip to the deer woods.  The colder weather prompted me to slip on a warmer glove.  As soon as I got into the stand and pulled the bow back I knew this wasn't going to work.  (and it didn't, either!)
I will have to take my rasp to it, eventually, for a better fit.  Does anyone else have this problem with a straight handled longbow?

yup. get a shur grip or similiar rubber slip on grip.

they are elastic and conform to the handle. then put a piece of rubber to mark your thumb position. I use the folded up piece of grip I cut off when I cut it to size.

If you have your thumb in the right position the hand falls naturally in place. Works for me.

Good luck.

And practicing with the gloves on probly wouldn't hurt any either.  :D  I had the same problem with my recurve this year.

Maybe try a handwarmer muff and you could possibly get away with a jersey glove?
