Post by: HighEagle on February 21, 2020, 01:52:26 pm
Whats your favorite shooting glove, tab, or bare hand. Time to replace my old glove I'v had it I,m guessing 20+ years Kind of like an old hat hard to replace, lately I have been using the new type tight fitting carpentry glove works good in the cool cold weather

  Thanks Chuck

  Chuck,
              I just use fingers and they callus up pretty good...I tried gloves and tabs years ago and could never get used to them...I think I get a cleaner more consistent release...Haven't lost or forgotten them either, Lol...Looks like you have wore that one out bud...I usually shoot one arrow at a time and that probably keeps me from getting that burning sensation I would recieve from a quiver full...

3 Rivers has gloves similar to your old one.  I should try bare fingers, but have always preferred a glove.  Tabs don't seem to work as well for me.

I've been using a Damascus glove for many years. When I started buying them they were $9.95.  Unfortunately the newer Damascus gloves are thinner than the older ones.

I've always shot bare fingered. Need that dexterity.

I like my old boot leather tabs. Simple, cheap and they seem to work well for me. Plus they are thin enough I just keep one in my wallet just Incase I feel like randomly shooting a tradbow at a buddies house.

That Ol' glove has paid it's dues!  Hang it in the wall!  I sort of get one I like and live with it it!  If I can get through a day's shooting without sore spots or blisters, it works.  May soften it with a leather treatment, though.  Don't particularly like tabs.

I got a calfskin tab as a gift at the marshalls. I just find it hard to shoot without one because my hands don't callus up at all. :-\

Wow, that glove has some miles on it.  I always have a tough time getting rid of an old, trusty piece of gear like that.  I hate throwing away an old pair of boots or running shoes.  But there comes a time...

I really like the dura-glove from 3rivers.  The full-palm, low-profile design slips under my wool finger mittens on cold-weather hunts, it's thin enough that I can really feel the string, and the nylon tips give me good protection and a quick release.  Fairly affordable, too.
