Heated Bow Grip?
« on: December 28, 2009, 03:04:00 PM »
I hate to wear gloves, so I keep my hands in my pockets with handwarmers. But when you need to take them out and hold your bow because deer are moving your way they get cold real fast espicially with alittle breeze and the temps are in the teens.

So does anyone know of a heated wrap for the grip possibly powered by a small battery?

No, but I imagine you could manufacture one yourself out of the ones that go into ski boots. Do I hear a patent pending idea?!   :thumbsup:    :D

There are electrically heated grips available.  But if it matters too you, you will not be able to enter an animal into P&Y if you have one.  Also check state law concerning the use of electronics on a bow or arrow.  Washington state used to have one.

Do you hate having things on your hands in general or just gloves?  You may try the mittens that fold over and have fingerless gloves under the mit.

Thin glove liners do it for me. I can shoot with my tab as if I am shooting with a "naked" hand.

Koplin made a bow mitt years ago for your bow hand. If you google bow mitt one will come up in an auction with pictures of the mitt.

I use military wool gloves and a hand warmer.

Maybe you could get Red Green to make one for you.  Duct tape, the handy man's secret weapon; if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.  8^).

FWIW I've been using a very thin liner type under armor knock off glove that has a small hidden pocket on the inside to hold a chemical hand warmer.
The pocket places the hand warmer up against the back of your hand. I got the gloves at bass pro for $9.99.  They're called RedHead® Rut Zone Big Game Gloves for Men.  
So far the coldest Ive hunted w/ em this year was 21 degrees and they worked well. The glove is thin enough to wear under my damascus glove.

I wear military kevlar flight gloves underneath wool fishermens gloves without the finger tips and the mitten pull over.  I stick a hand warmer between the two gloves on the back of each hand.  Keeps my hands nice and warm.  

Then again the coldest temperature I have seen this year is 9 degrees farenheit, and that is really cold around these parts.  Normally I am hunting in 25 to 40 degree weather.  I don't bother with a tab in cold weather, the flight gloves have leather palms and finger bases that work as a tab.

I've thought about taking a thick knit cap and threading a tie wrap at the opening and securing it to the top of the grip and then doing the same at the other end of the opening at the bottom of the grip.  You could put a handwarmer in it.  I was on stand today for a few hours and had deer around me just out of range.  I like light gloves, so even with temps around 32 degrees and 15 mph winds my bowhand was freezing.  Not as much of a problem when stillhunting.

Never heard of Red Green.

Staying warm before the shot is not the problem I just don't like shooting with any type of glove on my hand. My hands sweat some with gloves with or without hand warmers so when you take the gloves off or take them out of my pockets the sweat cools them real fast. I had a nice rack buck at fifty yards with some alert does for over a half hour the last day of the season I ended up shooting one of the does. But my fingers felt like they were going to crack off! Just wished I had a heated bow grip! The #$%^ P&Y.

Wingnut that's what I'm looking for I've seen them on compound bow handles years ago. But I'm looking for more of a wrap.  :campfire:

Actually, back in the day when we were writing the bowhunting regs for Washington State this came up.  They ended up saying no electronics on bow or arrow and we were stuck with cold hands forever.  LOL

OK, first you need a magnesium riser, a set of jumper cables, and a pair of 12 V tractor batteries in a backpack...

...And some gauze, antiseptic burn cream, and a case of Aleve...

Well... it seemed like a good idea at the beginning!  :rolleyes:
