Does anyone use a golf glove as a shooting glove? I tried it the other day and I liked it. Seems like it would be pretty nice for hunting, being a full hand glove and all. Any thoughts?
I've used them for a few years. Lately I've gone to a very loose grip on my bow so I havent needed the tack the glove provides.

Roger, I use a full hand glove most of the time for shooting. Though it is not a golf glove I shoot with a non inuslated deer skin glove that I get from Two Bears Trading Company in Grand Haven. I am sure you have seen Two Bears (Ernie Marvin) at GLLI and possibly some other shoots around the state.
Thanks...now, I'm talking about using one as a shooting glove, rather than a conventional glove or tab. I tried it recently, and liked it. I just wondered about the durability?
They make great light-weight shooting gloves... Just the right amount of "feel" and warm enough for recreational shooting in cool weather.
There is also a light weight camo glove out there that's a lot like a golf glove that help camo out your hands when the weather's too warm for real gloves.
Roger, I use the deer skin gloves as a shooting glove as well. They hold up great if you use a "tie-on" nock point. The brass nocks seem to tear them up a little quicker if you shoot split finger.
I use skin tight deerskin gloves on both hands when I shoot my 'primitive' self bows. There is no arrow rest so that helps my left hand. I use artifical sinew string so it is overall a little thicker than a B-50 string so I do not need a tab or shooting glove. The deerskin gives enough protection for the fingers and yet a smooth release. Fot my conventional longbows or recurves I use tabs or archery glove.
I have when shooting my self bow BUT I wore it on the bow hand to protect myself from feather injury! Worked really well.
i use a black "rain" golf glove for bowfishing.works great but i like my traditional 3finger glove for my dry land shootin.
I have a pair of new camo "mechanix" gloves I've been wanting to try for shooting.Never tried golf gloves but sounds like a good one to try as well. :thumbsup:
