Thin hunting gloves?
« on: September 24, 2014, 05:07:00 PM »
Every year I buy a pair of thin gloves with grippy stuff on the palms. I wear them the whole season and always have to replace the next year. I'm just wondering what you guys are wearing?

Interesting question, I have been in a search of a good tight fitting pair of thin gloves as well. As a matter of fact, I believe that gloveless hands is what busted me while drawing on a turkey yesterday evening.

I will be watching this thread.

I just use the old Jersey gloves, with the first 3 fingers cut off for the release, in dark brown. I add a hand muff when it gets cold.

It is very important to have those big white hands covered when drawing on animals. I use brown cotton jersey with fingers cut off on glove hand and an old cotton camo glove with rubber grippers on the bow hand. I know, I know, I don't match but it keeps bow from slipping.

I use the military wool liner gloves (green), which has worked very well for me. I usually cut three fingers out at the first knuckle for my glove. I threw away my first pair last year after 12 years of use, but I alternate pairs after each hunt.

Brown or camo jersey gloves with 3 fingers cut off on my shooting hand, hand warmers in my pockets when it get cold.
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

I use brown or camo jersey gloves and have for years. I also have 2 pairs of Spanofloge(sp) gloves I got from 3 Rivers. I also cut 3 fingers out of  the right hand and use a Damascus shooting glove.

I use a pair of plumber & electrician utility gloves, black in color, good grip and you can pick a dime up with them. Can use my Black Widow tab without any issues.

Roadkill, I like the idea of the pilots gloves. I may give that a try.

I use either a black/brown shooting glove on both hands. Most of my hunting is spot and stalk. The gloves help with shooting and do a very good job keeping cactus thorns nada sandburrs out of my hands. I have also used thin deer skin driver gloves found in most farm and ranch stores.

I have been using the gloves in the link for about 15 years. They come in camo too.

I use those mechanic gloves too, in camo.  Only cut off the tip of my index finger on the drawing hand, to touch my top tooth where I anchor.  I shoot with a tab.

I use a light mechanic's glove. They have a slippery surface (similar to fine leather) but I find they allow me to "feel" the string without shredding my fingers after a days shooting. I much prefer them to the 3 finger leather glove I used to shoot with. Plus I like to care my recurve into November and it provides my string hand some protection from the elements.

I have used calf leather roping gloves for years. They are thin, yet warm. I make them camo with some leather dye. I get them a little tight and then wear them in. Got a 5 pack at the farm show for $20.00.
