I have been wanting to get a glove with a bit more protection than my Bear Paw Classic and after much research I went with the BW Stick tight glove. This is a heavy leather, long stall glove with nylon overlays. It is very similar to the American Leathers Big shot. Right from the package it is stiff and will have to be broke in (i view this as a good thing) . I wore the glove today around the house, and then I shot about 15 arrows in the dark in this nice hail/sleet storm we are having.
Really like the protecting that I am getting from the glove at this point. I can feel the pressure of the string, but I can not feel the string itself on my fingers. And since the American Leather gloves are the Gold Standard now a days by which all others are judged Ill give you my comparisons. The BW is most similar to the AL Big shot buffalo. Single layer leather with nylon overlay. Plenty of finger stall and nylon to allow for first grove and farther back string grab. The nylon is narrower on the BW than the Big Shot, but very very slick. Quality of both gloves leather is on par, with neither taking the lead. The BW is a modified Bateman/ Howard Hill style in that it has two straps from the stalls as opposed to one and also larger stalls. The AL is more of the Original Fred Bear design. I would be proud to own both gloves, BUT total value from initial purchase goes to the BW Stick Tight hands down. I will have to see how long it lasts as people are reporting 3-4 years from the AL gloves and not much has been said about the BW yet.
