Hot news from American Leathers

[MikeNova]

Since I live in South Carolina and much of my hunting is done in close to 100 degree weather the lighter weight would be a plus.

[jackdaw]

well, I just figured out what my next archery purchase will be...

[kennym]

I have a couple bigshots and a crossover(think its elk but might be bison)and like the crossover a lot better. May have to have one of those roos next!

[Ric O'Shay]

Been shooting the Big Shot for over a year now. Was not sure about the glove when I first ordered it. Nylon vs. real leather glove.....         What are you thinking about, I said to myself. Now, I wouldn't buy another glove. 'Cept now....there maybe a kangaroo in the near future.

Thanks for the tip Charlie. I just called up John and ordered one of the new Kangaroo Crossovers. He says they're about 16 days away from being mailed out. My old Buffalo Crossover will be going to back-up status.

[Archie]

I ordered one as well.  I'm a tab shooter, but thought this would be a good way to try something new!

[Ray Lyon]

I really like my buffalo crossover so even though it's only a couple  of months old it will be a backup to a kangaroo crossover which I chatted with John about yesterday.

Can you get it without the inserts?

I have been wondering the same thing.  I have a crossover, but just don't like the fact that I cannot "feel" the string like I can with a tab.

[KentuckyTJ]

Thanks Charlie! I sent you a pm. John, please let us all know when the new glove is available to order online.

Yea, thanks Charlie. John owes you a commission!  

When I talked to him the other day, he said my order should be out in 15-20 days.

I cannot speak for John but I would guess that this is a yes.  I actually wanted a "special" adjustment to one of his current gloves too.  Called him up and had a "custom" custom :-) glove in my hands in less than three weeks at a fair price!

Great guy.  Responsive and easy to talk to.

[Ray Lyon]

Yes, John will do custom stuff, so agree with above and just call John. When I talked through my needs with John on the phone based on a used American Leathers glove I bought that didn't quite fit, John said ok, we'll make you a glove with large finger stalls, extra large body and double xl wrist strap.  It fits perfect all at the regular price and regular delivery time.

[Mr. fingers]

What's the cost for the kangaroo glove!!!!

[M60gunner]

$69.50 same as Full Shot. John advised me agianst leaving inserts out. He explained that the string will wear a groove into the leather. This could cause a release issue.
John was very pleasant to talk with. He answered my questions and concerns to my satisfaction.

[Hermon]

Do any of the American Leather gloves come without inserts?  I have looked at the website but it doesn't specifically say.

[Broken Arrows]

Give John a call I just ordered one he is really nice and will take the time you need.

[LongbowArchitect]

Great news! My new Kangaroo Crossover arrived in the mail today to replace my old Buffalo Crossover. I shot with it at lunch time for about 30 minutes and found that it fit my long fingers/hands perfectly. It shot so well that it appears it will not need a break-in period at all. I asked John to make an extra long Crossover for me and he did so without any additional charge. I'm anxious to see if the kangaroo leather stretches and how it wears. Best looking glove I've ever seen too. Thanks for another great product John.

[Archie]

Just got mine in the mail today too.  I like it!  

This is the first time I've ever honestly tried a glove, and while it feels a lot different than a tab, I think I can get used to it and might end up really liking it.  

I've tried a couple of cheap $9 gloves at times in the past, and they were terrible.  I knew that if I were ever to give it a serious try, I'd have to try a quality glove.  Well, this is a seriously good one!
