No-Glov...Yay or Nay?
« on: October 16, 2009, 04:03:49 pm »
I dont know how long this little invention has been patented, but a search on this site revealed no comments at all!

Its a real struggle getting them on your string (expect a few blisters), but well worth it to dispense with wearing shooting gloves forever. It even makes string nocks unnecessary.

I've used no-glov for kids bows. It's really hard to find a glove small enough to fit their hand, and it eliminates a bunch of stuff for them to not have to think about.

Nay for me. They pinch the arrow nock, give you a poor release, slow the bow down, and don't have nearly so many benefits as they have downsides.

I prefer to cut a simple tab from leather.

Nay for me. They pinch the arrow nock...
Ok, but isnt the pinch effect ONLY at full draw...where it doesnt really count?

I'm assuming the arrow stays ON the string until it stops.

Ive used them, and liked them. I even checked the speed through a chronograph and didnt see any change in speed. Give them a try and see what you think.

How can any pinch, full draw or otherwise not affect the arrow or release?

im with Mike on this
no glove no pads no nothing
just my fingers touching the string
they dont start to hurt from shooting a 50-55 lb bow untill iget near 100 shots out
when i am hunting i only take one maybe two shots all season long
so a glove aint needed

I hear you guys, when I lived in Illinois, I wore wool gloves with the fingers cut off so I could shoot, no way you can use a shooting glove or a tab and be very accuarte.

Did you mean to say no way I can shoot with a glove? Some of the best shots in the world use gloves and tabs ???
