Title: What type of shooting glove?
Post by: breedlove90 on January 14, 2007, 09:48:00 PM: I have been shooting with an old 3 finger glove my dad had from years ago.

The leather in the finger stalls is very thin. I have been shooting everyday this week and have blisters now even using the glove.

What type of glove provides more protection?

I've seen Several different kinds on 3River's website but I'm not sure which one would work best.

Thanks,
Forrest

Good Hunting, Gian

The results were as follows: 63%used The BIG SHOT GLOVE ( elk,buffalo, other variations), 21% used THe DAMASCUS GLOVE (BERLIN, depending on draw wight), 11% used the SKOOKUM and the rest was broke up into several different kinds.

I personally liked the Damascus Glove until I started shooting heavier weight (60# and above). Then I went to the BIG SHOT BUFFALO, which I absolutely love. I think its the best glove on the market. I also tried American Leathers new "FULL SHOT" glove but did'nt like it due to the stalls rotating on my fingers. Somebody with a little fatter fingers would probably love it. AMERICAN LEATHERS GLOVES are a little pricey compared to others but you get what you pay for.

I hope this helps you! Dave

Haven’t shot it yet, because of weather and work, but hopefully today I will. I was a little put off at first by the price but after receiving it, I understand the high cost. It’s hand-crafted in Cody, Wyoming. American Leather that’s actually made in America…..hats of to you…..I’m so used to everything I buy being made in China…what a present surprise….

Post by: Stormer on February 06, 2007, 07:06:00 AM: Agree with Climber. The 3Rivers special with the Cordura Tips is a real winner.Complete feel for the string (NO BULK) and a super slick smooth release. Brilliant at US$19.99 and I think I have tried them all.
