American Leather Big Shot.  I like the fit, and my fingers like the seatbelt material on the part of the fingers that touch the string.

Superglove. Good fit, smooth fingertips, nice release.

I've always shot a Demascus but recently tried a cheap finger-stall style glove by Neet. It is now my favorite but I think I'm going with a leather-tipped Big Shot myself. My dad loves his.

I always used a thin glove then a few months ago injured my hand quite badly. Could not shoot with those gloves & so I read some threads on here & bought the AL bigshot. No pain or nerve damage now. Only glove the doc wants me to use.

Demascus glove! Thin enough to feel the string! I have tried others that were just to thick for me.

Where can you buy a big shot? I have allways used a tab, but thinking of changing. Burt

The Damascus feels right. Lately I've been shooting 2-3 hours a day, so I also use black electrician tape over the worn spots. Works a lot better than it sounds, or looks.

I like the Super Glove at 3Rivers Archery and the Grizzly Wolverine “SS” Glove at Braveheart Archery which are both similar gloves with a Cordura nylon fabric on the fingers that is really nice. I also like the Big Shot glove, but it is much thicker and heavier and does not work as well for me, but does for others. The Big Shot is also a lot more expensive. I mainly shoot the Super Glove and Grizzly Glove or a Bateman Cordovan tab, and I shoot them equally well. The tab is easier to put on and take off and easier to carry, so I use it the most. The Eichler tab from 3Rivers looks really good too and has been highly recommended by many TradGang members.
