Glove Choices

[Curtis Roberts]

Howdy gangers,
I just bought an American Leathers Elk Big Shot shooting glove.  I do like shooting with it, except for a few things.  The first is the feel of course, harder to get consistent finger placement but not impossible.  The worst thing is the Nylon has worn a good size patch of skin off my face.  The things I like about it are that I get no finger pinch and no sore fingers!  Just want to hear what everyone uses for gloves, pros/cons.  Please no glove bashing or "just shoot a tab!" comments, thanks.

The Big Shot was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for me.

Had been a tab guy and went thru seven different gloves over numerous years until finding one that shot with similar results to my tabs.

I really like a traditional style cordovan glove with inserts. Bateman makes a nice one.

I've tried a bunch also and for some reason I keep going back to a Martin glove.  A little thicker than a Damascus but not as thick as a super glove I have.

I got a Buffalo Big Shot a few weeks ago, I like it but not completely used to it yet. My favorite is the 3R Dura Glove, before that the Grizzly but you cant get them anymmore. I like the Cordura fingers.

Hi Curtis, I've  tried every glove out there and the "BEST" one going as far as I'm concerned is the Deer Skin glove sold by Kustom King Archery. This glove is $22.95 in their on-line catalog and has the "European Cordovan" finger tips. I've had it for a year now, shooting continually and no visable wear on the glove. The bow string doesn't hurt my fingers at all (53# bow) but you can still feel the string to get the same location on your fingers. I really think you'd be happy with this glove and the sizes seem to be good, I use a large, the same as any other glove I've had. Hope this helps,...Lloyd

I've got the buffalo big shot. It took me a while getting use to the nylon but I like it now especially as I slowly increase bow weight and  over time the nylon creased for a more consistent finger placement also.

I like both the Superglove and the BearPaw Speed glove. Good fit. Feel right for me.

I use a tab most of the time but when it is time for a glove I pull out a 3rivers duraglove.

Once the stall conform to your fingers finger placement will be perfect every time.

I just bought the cordovan traditional archery glove from 3rvrs and it's my top choice now. Takes a bit to break in but it offers great protection and a very smooth release.

Curtis,
When I buy a glove the first thing I do is remove the finger tips. I like to feel my fingers when I come to full draw.

Like medic, I also like the Martin glove.  It gives enough protection to shoot a 45-50# bow all day but is soft enough it still gives a good feel when I shoot my wife's 30#'er.

Another vote for 3rivers duraglove

The Big Shot is the best glove I have found.     No reason to look for another.

I like the duraglove alot.. Also have a full shot but i dont like the stitching inside the stalls..

[Rick Richard]

I have two Duragloves and like it except the fingers have twisted.  Just ordered the Big Shot and waiting for its arrival.

3 Rivers Duraglove...  

[fivebears]

I've been shooting the Duraglove from 3 Rivers,and while I like it,it does tend to groove or crease.I would like to try a Big Shot glove next.

Tried many gloves and tabs but stopped my search when I got a Big Shot Glove .
