Title: Alaska bowhunting supply shooting glove
Post by: sagebrush on June 14, 2016, 02:21:00 AM
I was thinking of buying another glove. The best one I have was bought from Alaska bowhunting supply. The problem is they no longer sell them. Does anybody know who made them for Alaska bowhunting supply? Or who sells one that is the same?

I have been going through the same thing. My last ABS Superglove is getting pretty worn.  I just ordered a similar looking glove from Kustom King. It is the Bear Paw deerskin glove.  Mine should be here in a couple days.  I really hope it is very similar to my Superglove!

American Leathers slick shot.....changed from super glove 10 years ago and never looked back....much more comfortable and no break in period ....I own 4 or 5 of them.

I wish someone would make their kangaroo skin glove.  Best feeling, best fitting, most durable I ever used.  I only got one.  Wish I'd known, I would have bought 10.

I loved those gloves when they quit making them I went to a BearPaw speed glove.

LBR, take a look at the kangaroo glove Big Jim sells. Might be the ticket for you, I love mine.

If you attend any of the big shoots, be sure to check all the vendors. I found, and bought, about 5 of those gloves by doing this. I have a healthy supply now for years to come.

I didn't see a slick shot listed in their online story.  Maybe I am missing something?

I also shoot that glove. I thought I lost it moving from one house to another. I kept looking for a replacement. I found one and bought it from Kustom King. It is the Bearpaw Deerskin one with cordovan tips. Excellent quality. Naturally after I bought the Bearpaw I found my other glove. I like the Bearpaw so much I am keeping my other glove as a spare.

Here is a link.

I just got the same glove in this week as a replacement for my worn out ABS Superglove.  The cordovan leather tips are nicely soft. It is a well made glove.  

It passed the main test for me with flying colors- my arrows hit exactly where I want them to.  As a "gapper", some gloves change my point of impact....this one is perfect for me.

I am going to shoot it for a while, then order another.
