Check your double anchor/back tension.

Never used the kangaroo...always used big shot

New glove, maybe your anchor has moved away from your face a bit.

When I switch from tab to glove, I often shoot left.  I should just stick to one or the other.

If it is stiff, and you anchor at the corner of your mouth, your straighter finger will hold it further from your face.

Try just lightly touching your anchor, and dont push into it...see if that brings you right.

I use the Kangaroo Krossover... I like it a lot, and I shot with a tab exclusively for over 30 years.

I didn't have any problems other than getting used to the glove as a whole, and I developed a painful habit of holding the arrow wrong, which hurt my finger until I kicked the habit.

Now my only problem is my fear that John won't always be around to make these gloves, and what will I do then???     :pray:

Let me get this straight.  With another type glove, you are spot on.... and with the krossover you shoot left?
Title: Re: kangaroo Krossover
Post by: Shadowhnter on August 06, 2016, 05:32:00 PM
Are you keeping your draw hand and wrist straight and in line with the rest of draw arm when drawn and at anchor?

Different strokes fer different folks....it just dont seem to suit and fit you. Those things happen, and are why we have an assortment of things to choose from.  Too bad, sorry it didn't work out.

I got mine and like it. It's taking a little getting used to,but I'm shooting good with it.

Mine was reasonably soft from the get go,,,,but it did break in a little. Took about a week of hard shooting to get it where its at now.

Don't give up on it this quickly. Just stick with it and in two weeks check back with us. I'd bet you will have changed your mind.
It's a great glove.

If you don't feel comfortable with the inserts in the Krossover, what you'd have is the legacy kangaroo glove. As I recall, you got the Krossover because you felt the legacy developed a groove; the inserts on the crossover eliminate that possibility. Dragging a finger is more likely a finger placement/pressure issue.

Just a suggestion, as I appreciate your enthusiasm for shooting, and also know the learning curve can sometimes be frustrating: Between the legacy, the Krossover, and the Neet glove, you have a good range of choice. Maybe try sticking with whichever glove you feel most comfortable with for at least a couple of weeks.But just the one, and see how the shooting goes. Sometimes takes a while to get the feel of your gear, and it'll eliminate at least one variable as you settle in.

Good for you for sticking with it.  I love my crossover.  Still trying to like a tab, but I dont know if it will ever fully take the place of my crossover.
