New Product Idea.....

[slayer1]

Maybe this is already a product, but I have never seen it. I wish someone would make a shooting glove out of cordovan leather. I have seen the gloves that have regular leather covered with cordovan leather, but those tend to be to thick. If someone made one exactly like the Damascus glove except with thin cordovan leather I would buy 2 in a heart beat. I have a cordovan tab that is super slick and super tough but I am just not a tab guy. You guys pipe in with any other ideas, or if you know someone that would custom make such a thing.

Real cordovan leather comes from a small circle area on the hip of a horse - VERY expensive. Gloves would cost a lot because of material cost.

I forgot to add this comment. The cordovan leather is thin enough so that you still feel the string but would be tough enough to last longer than a Damascus.

Scott, that's a good idea but it would be expensive. The cost of cordovan for the manufacturer to make a tab (depending on the design) might be as high as $5-6.00 not including other materials and labor. The projected cost of a glove to the user would probably be at least $30.00 or so minimum.

Bateman could do it.

Why couldn't you use cordovan for just the tips of the fingers instead of the whole glove?  Seems like it would require about the same amount of cordovan as a tab...

[Butchie]

Agreee with gringol!  I'd like to see that.

Who is Bateman? Is he a sponsor here?

3Rivers has a glove with cordovan tips.

I have 2 gloves that I got from Alaskan Bowhunter Supply that have Cordovan  finger tips. I think 3 Rivers sell them also!

I can't find it now... but at one time there was a thread where Joey Buchannan would take an Alaskan Bowhunters Super Glove... one with the cordovan tips and turn it wrong side out and cut away the extra leather that laid under the cordovan...

He even goes so far as to cut the finger tips out to have a better feel for him...

I tried it... loved the feel, but I was a bit wreckless and cut through the cordovan in one spot :-(

Well shoot... Searched another way and it came up rather easily...

I'm working on exactly what you're looking for. Still a ways from having it in production, but that product is coming!

I would like to see true full gloves return.  Best gloves I've ever owned were from Berlin and bought from Alaska BH years ago.  They were treebark fleece top with buckskin full face palm and fingers with double finger tips.  Sold in set.  Just enough warmth and not bulky.  I really wish someone would make another.....I still use them but they are on their last legs...
