I need a new shooting glove. The old one's had it. Haven't bought one in a while and I'm not sure what"s out there.
What do all of you glove shooters recommend?
American Leathers Big Shot Glove
Come to the Baltimore Bowmen Trad Classic this weekend and look them all over.
Killdeer :thumbsup:
I like the Big Shot myself, but Killie has the right idea. If you have an opportunity to go somewhere where you can try on and test a bunch, do it.
I shoot the american leathers as well, like it alot :thumbsup:
The best advice I can give is go to a shoot with vendors so you can try them on and get a good fit. Even the same brand and size can have a very different fit.
The best I have used is the ABS Super Glove. Currently trying to get accustomed to a tab. Tried to use a Big Shot Slick Shot (American Leathers), but made the mistake of ordering it rather than trying them on first. Looked like a great glove, but the fit was way off even after returning it and getting a second one.

I'm a big fan of the american leathers big shot gloves. 1)as others have said, be sure to try them on till you find the right one, very hard to get a good fit without putting your hand in one. 2)whatever you find that you like, buy 2 and alternate shooting them both: you'll have a spare already broken in when you need it.
I shoot the Berlin Deerskin Gloves (damascus style glove). I tried the American Leathers Big Shot Gloves and didnt care for it. I could not "feel" the string the way I like to.
Like others have already mentionned you should try it because sizing is not consistant from one brand to the next.
I have other problems as my hand is long and big but my fingers are relatively slender and shoot left handed.
I buy 2 different size gloves ( I like one Martin model) and get my wife to make me a true custom glove with the parts.
I noticed years ago that the glove fingers on a right handed glove are set up for a right hand order of fingers and also, because the strap velcro opening is facing frontwards, it has a tendency to unfasten when you walk through brush.
I like the skookum and the big shot.Still breaking in the big shot but I think I'm going to really like it.Good luck
I'm partial to Alaska Bowhunting Supply's Super Glove...
Plain old damascas for me.
3 Rivers Dura-Glove. Nuff Said.
Bear Paw products !!!
I love the big shot!
i too shoot a Damascus style, like Tim said above, i have also shot the "big shot" and didn't like it because i couldn't "feel" the string the way i like to. They are a great glove but before you spend the money you should try them out if at all possible.it is all personal preference
Just bought a Bear Paw from Black Widow and so far it is a nice glove.
