How about your fave shooting glove. I'm just now in the process of breaking in a new deerskin Martin shooting glove. It's a big differenc than the cordovan tab I was using! I do like the feel of the glove better than the tab though. It's a little harder to get the feel of it though...Any who's what are your preferences in a shooting glove?

American Leathers Bigshot Glove. Best thing I have tried in 25 years of shooting! Next would be the Alaska Bowhunting Supply glove with cordovan tips. Joseph
Like Joseph, my favorite is the American Leathers Bigshot Glove! It's the glove I've found to be most consistent and comfortable to shoot with! :D
I have used my bigshot glove for 3 years, longer than any other, love it.
im also shooting the bigshot glove love it very comfortable and clean release.
the nylon does were a bit though.
I have bought every glove out there and my favourite is the Martin deerskin.
Dura-glove from 3rivers.
Bear Paw Products rock !!!
Bear Paw ???????????????????? never heard of them..mmmmmmm :)
Super Glove - Alaska Bowhunting Supply
I really like the Skookum glove but can't afford to shoot them because they wear out so fast.I am currantly trying a Dura glove and it seems to be holding up ok.No one makes a good glove like I want so I get by.
Alaska Bowhunting Supply Super Glove w/ cordovan leather tips.

I have just bought one of these a few weeks ago, so far I am impressed with it. I was using a Super glove before that and its starting to show its age.
I like the Dura-Glove from 3 Rivers, it's flexible, comfortable, tough, and allows me to shoot well because I can feel the string and everything better. I'll for sure buy another, if mine ever wears out :) .

I picked up a cheap Allen deerskin glove at Academy a month or so ago. I had never shot a glove before so I decided to give it a try. It was a lot different from a tab and took some getting used to but now I really like it. They dont look like they will last for years at a time but they are so soft they dont take much breaking in and they only cost 7 bucks so you can buy lots of them.
big shot, but I don't like to feel the string.
Bigshot glove

I have two old Fred Bear shooting gloves. I have not seen one for sale in years. Too bad -- they are great. Nothing better is being made now.
Damascus or bare fingers for me. I really like to feel the string.
big shot
American Leathers Big Shot. Loved it so much. I bought a back up to stash as well!
Grizzly's standard leather shooting glove. The leather in the fingertips is just right. Only trouble is that I go through 1 or 2 a year. I'd love to use a cordovan glove to get more wear, but they're too stiff and I can't get my anchor right. Or even a nylon tipped glove, but they're too soft. My only option is to keep buying the Grizzly's. :^)
3 rivers duraglove. I shot one for over a year and then gave it to my brother. He is still using it. Don't worry I had a new one in my hands before I gave it up.
I've never found a glove I like. None leave enough feeling. I get a mechanix glove and glue a srip of thin leather onto the fingers. Gives just the right feel to me. Cheap too............comparatively
Bayoulongbowman,
I'd never heard of them either 'till this year. I picked one up out of the blue at the local Brandenburg Huntin' and Fishin' store. I've shot a Damascus for years. A buddy of mine was over the other night and I gave him my Damascus. They have a good thick finger on 'em but are very pliable and cost about 17 bucks. I bought another one and my cousin liked it so well I gave him that one. Gotta' get another now I always keep a back-up. I looked 'em up on the net and couldn't come up with anything. I'll ask the guy in B'Burg and get back with 'ya.
American Leathers Traditional with open top.
PDQ Super Glove. I have been shooting them for years, but they wear out about every six months. Black Widow let me test one with Kevlar stitching which has now just started to wear thru after one year.
American Leathers BUFFALO Big Shot. Awesome glove! Awesome customer service too. I was extremely impressed, and continue to be every time I shoot.
All the best,
Glenn

I like the feel of the Big Shot on the string and at release but until they get that big wad of stitched leather off the back of the shooting fingers I'll stick with the Superglove or a Damascus.
