figured out my left shooting problem

[sawtoothscream]

ive been shooting left alot. really no mater what. started to get use to it and know where to aim and hit almost where i want but still bugged me.

anyways i go out to shoot and couldnt find my new tab so i grabed my old glove and went out. found my tab out side and started shooting. then i got to thinking. so i put the glove and no more hitting left.  have to do more testing tomarrow but i think the tab changed the anchor im used to and making me shoot left.

now why im at it what are some good gloves? mines to thin and it hurts to shoot with it. thanks

Sawtooth,
I shoot bows that are only 1-3 pounds heavier than yours. I like a Damascus glove very much. They aren't super expensive so one might think they aren't as good, but they were recommended to me and I'll buy more.  They are also easy to find. It is a full palm, fingers, and back of the hand glove. I don't like the gloves with just the finger ends.

ill give it a look.  only thing i changed in my shooting in the tab and thats when my left shooting started so ill buy another glove and compare them all. worth a shot

I have been using a big shot glove for several years now. The same one. These gloves are among the best I've used. They outlast anything else by far for me.

Are you left or right handed?

[sawtoothscream]

right handed

I shoot a tab mostly, but also have a Full Shot glove. It is just the more coverage version of the Big Shot that dnovo has, both by American Leathers.
If you are looking for more protection for your fingers from the string, they are worth looking at. There are some pieces of nylon web that cover your finger pads, they spread the pressure out real well and make for a slick release.

big shot elk glove!!!!! I tried all kinds of tabs and couldnt get comfortable with them and than tried the american leathers glove, end of story  I just ordered a 2nd glove this week for backup, thats how much i love them and my fingers dont hurt anymore and I get a clean release now

The Dura-glove from 3Rivers is very durable and seems to give a "slick" release.  I own a few after trying several tabs and other gloves.  IMHO, they offer a good combination of "feel", protection, and durability.

Shooting left bugged me for years too.

Turned out it was my left eye taking over dominance at the shot,(I'm right eye dominant) I found that if I closed my left eye I could not see the target as the riser blocked it from my right eye.

Might be worth checking.

Damascus here too. Recommended to me by my bowyer and a ton of guys that I shoot with have them and all like them.
