Title: Keeping hands warm
Post by: Conan on November 17, 2007, 05:07:00 PM
I shoot with a glove but during the colder weather I switch to a wool glove with leather fingertips. The grip and release are effected a little. When it gets cold I either stick em' in my pockets or use a muffler. I was thinking of getting the wooley buggers that Screaming Eagle used to sell. Has anyone used them, and would I be able to get away with a lighter glove and my regular shooting glove?

I just use a light glove with a hand warmer inisde on the back of my hand. Doesn't effect my shooting.

I just use fingerstall glove and keep my hand in a hand warmer ( the kind that looks like a fannypack )

As a skinny guy with low blood pressure, the only sure way to keep my hands warm on cold mornings I've found is to turn off the alarm and stay in bed with my wife! (Sorry:-)

I myself wear a light glove on my bow hand and I shoot a tab, so I put a couple of the air activated handwarmers in each pocket and keep my hands in there until a deer appears. They last for a good 4-6 hours and they have no scent either. Shawn

I wear a shooting glove with a fingerless glove over the top and a full wool glove on the other hand. I just keep my hands in my pockets unless it's real cold then i use hand warmers like Shawn says.

I use the wool mittens with the flip open finger tips. Put my shooting glove on then into the mitten, flipper open when ready to shoot. Gets colder than that its time for the finger warmers!

That's exactly what I do.

I wear cotton jersey camo gloves(with the fingers of string hand cut off) until it get too cold then I use the wool mitten without fingers. I use a super glove with them all. I usually keep hand warmers in my pockets also. Pat

I have not used the wollybuggers, but they seem like they should work well. If needed you could put a chemical handwarmer in them. Try e-mailing the "Short One" he has never been known to stretch the truth.
