My dad passed on most of his archery gear and equipment to me. It was about a 50/50 split of trad gear and wheelie bow stuff. I found this glove in the mix and thought I'd give it a whirl. It was a little stiffer leather with less string feel than what I normally shoot. But after a few rounds of arrows, I was really liking it. Now it has become my primary glove, and would love to have another(or something similar) as a backup.
Only thing I know about it is the Apache stamp, and that it is probably from the 70's(maybe early 80s). Anyone know anything about it? Still made? Suitable replacement? I can't find anything on it.

Looks very similar to the NEET gloves. They also have very thick leather and have an almost identical construction.
Thanks Tom.
Don't know how I missed that. Guess lucky for me I've got cheap taste :biglaugh:
Are the finger stalls made out of leather or cordavan??

Those NEET gloves are very good. Comfortable, cheap and effective. I replaced mine after 10 years (the finger wore out) with a different type of NEET glove and I'm depressed that I didn't replace like-for-like :knothead:

Leather
Cordovan is leather (made from horsehide).
Yes, Cordovan is a type of leather but VERY different than ANY other leather available.
