Post by: frassettor on October 01, 2012, 06:07:00 PM: I use a muff with a hand warmer in it, and wait till I see deer to get ready. I usually have to just grin and bear it, they do get cold at times! Good thread, I will be watching this one

Post by: yekrut on October 01, 2012, 06:10:00 PM: that is what I do too, but just wondering if there's another way?

Post by: Bud B. on October 01, 2012, 06:17:00 PM: Fleece Muff and handwarmer packs. No other way that I have found. Especially since I like my shooting hand to be the shooting glove only. I'll hold the bow with the bow hand for as long as I can and then warm it when necessary. The string hand stays in for warmth for when the drawing fingers are needed.

I do wear gloves all year around, I cut the 3 fingers out of them to the first joint. I wear them all year shooting 3d, in the back yard, ect. , I keep wearing them because I'm used to the feel of the gloves . I shoot the American Leathers glove , no problems

Post by: BowHunterGA on October 01, 2012, 06:28:00 PM: I have been using a cheapo muff but intend to get one from Teresa Asbell before it gets cold enough for me to need one. In fact, think I will call her tomorrow and order one.

Post by: Rob W. on October 01, 2012, 06:44:00 PM: Asbell muff is my favorite. I also cut the fingers out of a glove and put a hand warmer in the muff. Thats only when it is freeze your snot cold though.

Post by: old_goat2 on October 01, 2012, 06:47:00 PM: I have a full glove with leather tips on the three draw fingers, have practiced with them, but not hunted yet. I use a tab primarily and wear it over a glove.

Post by: ChuckC on October 01, 2012, 07:42:00 PM: A loose fitting pocket in the right spot works well, with a heater pack. I am kinda surprised you don't see that as an option for wool or cold weather gear.

Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: STICKBENDER98 on October 01, 2012, 08:39:00 PM: I keep my glove hand in my coat pocket, when i hunt the late season I use a heater pack one in each pocket, one for bow hand and one for glove hand
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: nampook93 on October 01, 2012, 08:51:00 PM: throughout the year i practise with the different gloves that i own. and i just shoot with those on. but when its not all that bad i try and keep my leather shooting glove on as long as possible.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: stalkin4elk on October 01, 2012, 09:56:00 PM: Use a thin 200 gm merino glove liner inside the shooting glove or tab for cool temps. If it's really cold then put the same in a loose oversize mitten that falls off EASILY or the hand warmers in an insulated pocket. If you practice in the cold this becomes your season normal and does not mess with your shot.
Don't forget the bow hand because a lot of gloves really interfere with your arrow and/or shelf.You can put a hand warmer on the back of your bowhand with a thin mitten or glove.
Now is when to add an arm guard for bulky sleeves if needed as well.

Post by: Jayb on October 01, 2012, 09:57:00 PM: I live in TX! LOL back in PA & MD when it was single digits the muff was the best. Warmest & easiest to remove my hands for a shot. I got a cheap $10 for Dicks and did to have to add a hand warmer

Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: Stumpkiller on October 01, 2012, 11:15:00 PM: I wear wool "glommits" with thinsulate mitten caps and an additional pair of wool fingerless liners and keep my tab hand in a fleece lined pocket that straps on my belt.

I've had this set-up down into the teens.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: Hud on October 01, 2012, 11:23:00 PM: Stick them in my jacket, pants pockets, or put on a wool glove, which comes off easier than a leather/lined glove. You could cut the tips off a wool glove and wear it over your shooting glove or tab. Put hand warmers in your pockets.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: joe ashton on October 01, 2012, 11:33:00 PM: my pockets and as it gets colder
a muff with hand warmers.
When that deer shows up it is tuff to keep them warm while also holding the bow.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: LKH on October 01, 2012, 11:49:00 PM: 3 fingered shooting glove w/leather palm and then a green military wool glove w/the 3 fingers cut off. Even then if it gets cold enough I will put a hand warmer in on the back of my hand under the wool.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: JEFF B on October 02, 2012, 12:02:00 AM: i just put em in my pockets
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: AkDan on October 02, 2012, 05:04:00 AM: I used to wear a heavy rag wool glomitt.....thinsulate lined, tight weave. If it was super cold -20 or so and on...I'd have to add a liner glove. Shot my caribou in 02 in some bad cold and about froze my finger tips off. It made a case for shooting a tab at the time, all fingers had (if I had had put it on) the liner glove covering all exposed skin.

Good luck finding them now a days and if you do say something! The ones I've found are a very loose weave, usually have some kind of cheap plastic line between the outer wool shell and inner insulation and just arent as warm. They were quite nice, minus maybe the stitching for the mitt part, they always fell apart there. A little tlc and they were good to go again! The newer ones just dont cut the mustard for warmth!!!

Post by: misfire on October 02, 2012, 06:58:00 AM: ^^^...See Stumpkillers photo!...^^^

Those are the same gloves I use. I also keep a hand warmer going in eaach jacket pocket.

Post by: Roger Norris on October 02, 2012, 07:37:00 AM: I wear wool fingerless gloves. The thinner the better.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: Bill Carlsen on October 02, 2012, 07:51:00 AM: I can shoot with a tab wearing thin glove liners. So I cut the 3 shooting fingers off of my heavy gloves and wear glove liners. That way, if I have to hold on to the string for a while my fingers can take it. Really cold weather and my hands have hand warmers in the pockets, as well.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: southernarcher on October 02, 2012, 08:18:00 AM: I have some gloves with a flip over mitten. Not sure where I got them, but they work great. All finger holes cut out for my shooting glove, just pinky and thumb left. Flip the mitten over for warmth, flip it back to shoot.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: southernarcher on October 02, 2012, 08:20:00 AM: Glomitts. Couldn't think of what they were called. Thanks Stumpkiller.

Post by: stykbow67 on October 02, 2012, 09:08:00 AM: Check out Kustom Kings Black glove(TG sponsor)They're a fleece lined 3 finger shooting glove and they make a huge difference when your waiting for the shot. I use one in combination with a cut off wool glove on shooting hand and it solved the problem for me!

Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: wooddamon1 on October 02, 2012, 01:23:00 PM: I use thin liners under wool gloves, just cut off the 3 shooting fingers. On really cold days, some of those flip-mittens do the trick with a warmer between layers on the back...
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: BigBucksnTrucks on October 02, 2012, 04:51:00 PM: I have some nice wool mittens, that have built in cut off fingers. The finger part of the mitten folds backwards and velcros to the hand part of the glove. I can wear my shooting glove under it and shoot without issue. So I just keep the mittens closed and when I see a deer, quietly fold back the mittens and I'm ready to shoot. I've been out in single digit temps and stayed fairly warm.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: on October 02, 2012, 05:11:00 PM: I use a tight fleece glove and slide over my shooting glove, I added a velcro elastic strap to keep it tight on my hand. I cannot tell that my release is any different with it.

Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: jhg on October 02, 2012, 07:16:00 PM: I wear a tab... and so can wear gloves with the fingers cut short. If I can keep the back of the hand warm I am usually good.

Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: Woody303 on October 02, 2012, 09:14:00 PM: In the early season, I wear a thin pair of gloves with my shooting glove over top.

When it gets cold, I switch to the Cabelas Ragg Wool Glo-Mitt with thnsulate lining. The shooting glove goes n first, then the glo-mitt goes on top. This allows me to keep my fingers nice and toasty warm, and I can easily flip the mitten open to reveal my fingers quickly quietly, and without any visible motion.

Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: Sam McMichael on October 02, 2012, 10:18:00 PM: I use a tab and can wear a fleece glove under it in mildly cold weather. Other than that I use a hand warmer in the pocket of my hunting vest.

Post by: AkDan on October 03, 2012, 01:24:00 AM: if you guys find a good heavy weight glomitt pass it on ....mine were gray almost white. So far I've found nothing quite as good, most of them are not even close!
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: KSshrewman on October 05, 2012, 11:55:00 PM: Hand warmer in coat pocket works great.
Title: Re: how do ya'll keep your glove hands warm???
Post by: on October 06, 2012, 12:00:00 AM: I use a muff but down here you rarely need a chemical handwarmer. I use a tab and I have a light glove with the three fingers cut off for my right hand. I wear the whole glove on my left hand. If they still get cold, in the muff they go!

Post by: Grayseas on October 08, 2012, 11:39:00 AM: I get a good fitting glove, and supper glue the soft side of Velcro to the three finger tips. Works well so far. I have not tried it with thick winter gloves yet, my hands seldom get cold unless they are wet.

Post by: StickBowManMI on October 13, 2012, 07:03:00 PM: I use a glove liner that I wear on my right hand to keep my shooting hand warm while keeping my hands in my pocket with hand warmers. Seems to work for me.
