Who's got the best shooting glove?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Hillbilly:
I have a Damascus glove, and I like it better than any I have used so far. It stays put really well. I shoot without one sometimes, too, but if you're doing a lot of shooting with a heavier bow, it can get really rough on the fingers.

Papa Matt:
Arthur,

Ya gotta let your archer's calice build up first brother. Try to shoot too much at one time will cause blisters, and can even cause bone damage in your fingers. If you're shotting 3 fingers like most of us, ya gotta let that calice build up on the bottomside of your ring finger on the shooting hand. Mine gets so big and tough it looks like a wart. But it don't hurt no more unless you shoot so much that it starts to pull off. And it will gradually go away if you stop shooting or slow down.

Well, I guess I'm probably not helping my case any, am I. Oh heck, go buy your glove and just be done with it.

Arthur, I have used the Damascus mostly. I have thought about trying one of the gloves with the nylon webbing for the stalls but haven't yet. Is that what is on the 3Rivers Dura-Glove?  You probably get a good slick release with the nylon stalls. I guess it would depend on how tight your money is! ;D
   When I first get a leather glove, I wash it with warm soapy water, rinse it well(helps remove excess dye),put it on to my hand to conform it, remove it and let it dry. After dry I give it a good workout with Montana Pitch Blend or Mink Oil.  I have also had to turn the fingers inside out and trim the seam because it irritated my finger.    Pat

DanaM:
Pat I have a 3 rivers dura glove and I like it, never used a Damascus glove so I don't know how they compare.

Arthur Herrmann:
Pat B- My 3Rivs Mag is really new. The "Dura Glove" is leather, and has "Cordura" on the finger tips. I am guessing that it is not nylon. But I don't know.

However, there is a Tred Barta nylon shooting glove, and I could buy it and try it. Tred Barta sounds like a cool guy who knows what he's doing. Maybe if somebody here has used it, than they could let us know how good it is.

A couple bucks here and there won't break my budget. But I can't justify buyin a $60 Buffalo hide glove compared to a $15 glove that will do the same job.
