Whats your glove preference, and why. thanks
American Leather Big Shot. I like the fit, and my fingers like the seatbelt material on the part of the fingers that touch the string.
I second the big shot, for my lighter bows i prefer the damascus glove
Superglove. Good fit, smooth fingertips, nice release.

Try the search feature. This has been done numerous times :thumbsup:
Another vote for the Big Shot. Worth every penny.
Big shot glove. I like the way it fits and releases.

x2 :thumbsup:
I've always shot a Demascus but recently tried a cheap finger-stall style glove by Neet. It is now my favorite but I think I'm going with a leather-tipped Big Shot myself. My dad loves his.
I prefer the thinner Damascus glove.
I always used a thin glove then a few months ago injured my hand quite badly. Could not shoot with those gloves & so I read some threads on here & bought the AL bigshot. No pain or nerve damage now. Only glove the doc wants me to use.
i just got a berlin glove from 3rivers and like it pretty good. first one i ever tried but it seems ok.
Demascus glove! Thin enough to feel the string! I have tried others that were just to thick for me.
Ditto again on the American Leathers "Bigshot"
Where can you buy a big shot? I have allways used a tab, but thinking of changing. Burt

3Rivers has them..
I like the damascus glove.. Just feels right to Me.
Thanks,Burt
The Damascus feels right. Lately I've been shooting 2-3 hours a day, so I also use black electrician tape over the worn spots. Works a lot better than it sounds, or looks.
Thanks for all your input,I will be ordering a bigshot as soon as the funds become available,Thanks
I like the Super Glove at 3Rivers Archery and the Grizzly Wolverine "SS" Glove at Braveheart Archery which are both similar gloves with a Cordura nylon fabric on the fingers that is really nice. I also like the Big Shot glove, but it is much thicker and heavier and does not work as well for me, but does for others. The Big Shot is also a lot more expensive. I mainly shoot the Super Glove and Grizzly Glove or a Bateman Cordovan tab, and I shoot them equally well. The tab is easier to put on and take off and easier to carry, so I use it the most. The Eichler tab from 3Rivers looks really good too and has been highly recommended by many TradGang members.

I just picked up the dura glove from 3 rivers and I love it. It has the cordora fingers and has great feel. The sting really flies off the fingers with it. I highly reccomend it.
American Leathers Bigshot is my favorite--and I've tried a bunch!

Ditto the Big Shot. I would give it an A+ if they would but better velcro on the strap.
Avid tab guy here, yet went thru 7 different gloves over the years which only served to re-enforced my preference for tabs. Could always discern a difference in accuracy with other gloves.
Finally tried a Big Shot. My tabs have been sitting ever since. Now I am pleased to know that there is a great glove for me. Likely to be shooting my tabs again during the heat of summer.
