i'm a tab guy, make my own out of very thin latigo chromed leather.

BUT i have a need for a glove and would like one that's Super Soft and THIN at the string tips, for the best feel of the string. thinner and Most Flexible is better for me.

anyone know of such a glove?

Don't know of anything manufactured... thinnest I've used is the Damascus glove...

but you might be able to use a golf glove... they are really thin...

Yep Damascus. Gives a nice feel for the string

+ for the Damascus. Thinest glove I have tried.

Damascus is the best I've found. As a sidenote, I also found they last longer with a tie on string nock vs. a metal one.

Damascus is the best I know for your needs!

I sure like the Dura Glove from 3Rivers. You can surely feel the string, and never get grooves in the glove.

Damascus, they run small if the size I received was true. I ordered a large and it's a small large because I never get extra large gloves or tabs

Damascus Rob.

Bloodstains and all.

I have a newer one as a back up in my bow case but seems I always use "The Bloody One".

Works great in cold weather too. Just cut those 3 fingers off a glove of your choice.

Not being a smart a$$ but a womans or mans driving glove would give you the feel and protection. Just cut it and sew the seam.I didnt like the Damascuc glove, I have two Bear Paw gloves that are broken in and feel great. And I t6hink they are not made by the same manufacturer(neet) for the last one I ordered was not of the same quality and sizing was way way off.

The NEET calf-hair glove is super thin, too thin for me even at ~50#.

I'm sold on the Dura Glove too. I always used a damascus, but they were a little too thin and a bit rough on the fingers if shooting a lot. The leather on them also tends to where out pretty quick - about a year's worth of shooting for me. I just purchased a Dura Glove from 3Rivers and tried it for the first time tonight. I LOVE IT!! More protection than a damascus, but you still feel the string very well. I'm kicking myself for not getting one sooner.

I bought my two gloves from a family who are vendors at Denton Hill. They make a damascus type glove and they are the perfect thickness for good shooting. My first one is still going strong from 3 years ago and my second is a backup.

You won't find a glove thinner than a golf glove Rob. The damascus gloves ( that's what I use ) are thin but have doubled finger tips where a golf glove doesn't.

I use a mechanics glove during early season. Shoot with no glove most of the time.

Made a glove from veg tanned kangaroo that was thinner than my present damascus. my fingers got sore so I gave it away, maybe felt the string to much.
