Need Glove Recommendation
« on: June 13, 2011, 02:50:00 PM »
Well I went out to shoot yesterday and the glove I have been shooting for the last 15 years (near as I can remember) split out at the finger. No repair job this time.
 Obviously I haven't been in the market for a while what are you guys shooting and what do you recommend?

Thanks
Terry

American Leathers - Big Shot. IMO, there is no better glove.

I tried out a few different gloves after wearing out several old Bear gloves that I had. Frankly, I like the Damascus the best out of all the gloves I have tried. There is enough protection, a good feel of the string, and a good release. Easy on the wallet, too.

I did some research on this last night because I`m in the market for another.There is another thread about it and it looks like Dura Glove got the most votes.

I like the American Leathers Big Shot Glove as well. Tell us what glove you were shooting. If it lasted that long why not replace it with another one like it.

Bulldog..... I think it was a Bear glove but I'm not sure.I stated 15 years in my original post but I had bought the glove 4 or 5 years before I moved to AZ and I moved here in 1991.I Shot a two finger under tab for about 5 years somewhere in that time frame. It's shot a lot of arrows and been on a lot of hunts with me for sure....... Thanks for the input guys... Terry

Have been an avid tab guy here until this past March. Had gone thru 7 different gloves, including the Dura Glove over the years which only served to re-enforce my preference for tabs. Could always discern a difference in accuracy with other gloves.

Finally tried a Big Shot. My tabs have been sitting ever since. Now I am pleased to know that there is a great glove for me.

Just shot you a PM with break-in procedures for the Big Shot Elk.   Ray_G was kind enough to send it to me..it is originally from Nate Steen of Sunset Hill.

Good luck!

I agree with the American Leathers...just got one a couple weeks ago and am really enjoying the way it feels and the release I am getting off the string.

My favorite is the Superglove. It is just like the Duraglove but with cordovan tips. I have one and a back up that are 7-8 years old and still holding up great. Break-in required (wear it wet and let it dry).

One caveat - I bought a few (on sale from ABS) last year for my son and nephew and the quality control seems to have declined a bit. They are still great but were not as consistent glove to glove.
