hey all. i have a cavileer elite cordoven tab that is extremly accurate but is slower than a glove for close fast shooting. i have tried the 3 rivers dura glove but it is so thin it hurts my fingers. i am looking at the ABS glove with cordoven tips or the Am leathers elk hide. are these thicker than the dura glove? thanks for any help!
3 Rivers as others I'm sure sells the American Leather John Scholtz shooting glove. The best glove I've owened and used. No more calises. :thumbsup:
i have sensitive fingers and switched to a big shot glove they are sooo nice, no sore fingers.
3 rivers and kustom king sell them.
So does Sipsey river and they are a sponser here at tradgang.
Yep without a doubt american leather is the best glove out there
I use a cordovan glove made by E.W. Bateman and sold by The Nocking Point (a TG sponsor). Works great. The key here is you want cordovan leather. It comes from a horses behind and VERY thick. I've shot my current glove for two years and it's just starting to show a string groove.
I have had two of the Big Shot gloves. they are thick and comfortable, but after shooting them in, the index finger pad twists around to the top of my finger. I sent the first one back, they replaced it, and the second one is doing the same thing. Anyone else have this problem, or do I just have wierd fingers?
American leather are too small for my fingers...
American Leathers Big Shot!!! :thumbsup:

My favorite glove for over 70 # bows, is the standard H.H. sold by Creig at Hill archery.
I take the nylon inserts out, that makes it really comfortable, and still has the thickness of the second layer of leather.
These are bullet proof :thumbsup: Super glove (http://www.3riversarchery.com/Product.asp?c=1&s=41&p=0&i=4427X)
I am a nut case when it comes to gloves and tabs, I try 'em all. I can't help it.
Anyway, when I was buying a new one to try from Alaska Bowhunting Supply I asked about the Cordovan Super Glove and was told that it is a VERY tough glove and that it offers a lot of protection to the fingers. It costs a but more, but they are first rate.
One that I have tried is the Howard Hill Deluxe. You want a thick glove? I don't see how a glove could get thicker and stiffer than that one. I sold it right after shooting about 5 arrows with it because I figured it would take me about 5 years to get it broken in. I think mine had the inserts in it. I might want to try one of them without the inserts and see how that does.
Either one of these 2 would serve you well, I think.
Good Luck in your search.

bayoulongbowman : what size glove did you buy?
I have used a lot of damascus gloves over the years in XL size and they fit perfectly.
What size glove to you ordinarilly wear; and what kind-- ?
Have you tried the Super Archery Mitt. Fast as a glove in the field and the clean release of a tab.
Hill deluxe with inserts. Oil the heck out of it and shoot lots.
