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.

Superglove. Good fit, smooth fingertips, nice release.

Another vote for the Big Shot. Worth every penny.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
