I sure like Fred's glove with the compass on it. Does anyone make one like it these days?

Make your own, sew a compass into your glove.

Joe, I use a glove with a palm strap and an old '54 Kodiak compass in the back that's been in several gloves since the seventies. There is an Amish community near me that has a shoemaker and he makes mine for me now. He does excellent work, very reasonable. He's just a bit tough to catch in the shop and it's pretty remote.I'll send you a picture of mine and a pattern if you like.   Grant

Joe- My glove is made out of French Veal dress shoe leather and I use oiled heavy leather for the stalls with no re-inforcement. I've been shooting this one for a couple of years with heavy use and haven't had a problem with excessive grooving. I did have him build one with the overlays like the bigshot but didn't care for the bulk. I have some Silva compasses that are European Nato compasses- they work very well but are plastic and fractionally smaller than the brass one in my main glove. You are welcome to one. I'll pm you those pics and I may be able to set you up here.        Grant

Joey, Shoot a tab...they're easier to make and put a compass with a string around your neck.  You'll never be able to see it with that Martha Stewart wreath anyway  :)   Doc

Joe,

Not sure what you mean... "where this one is from"... but I was there when it was taken. So I know where it was taken.

Here's a hint ...This pic appeared in a Bear Archery slick.

i have always been fasinated by Mr. Bear. I wore my Boy Scout uniform the day my hometown gave him and AMF/ Bear Archery a parade trying to attract that industry to our small dusty MS delta town. Those Fl. crackers won out!`
