Title: winter shooting glove
Post by: kunsangsean on December 16, 2012, 04:03:00 PM
Its getting cold in the mountains and I'm still shooting with a three finger glove. Those other fingers are cold! What do you use as a cold weather shooting glove? Only one I've found online is the leather legacy glove.

I wear a brown cotton work glove with the 3 fingers cut out and my archery glove over top. All of that goes into my pocket with a handwarmer.

I buy a nice warm fleece glove, then cut the ends off the three fingers and wear my shooting glove under it.

Do the same only with wool gloves.

I have done the same as others with a glove but I also use a one of those handwarmer muffs that quarterbacks wear during cold weather football games.

I'd get a pair of fingerless gloves with a flip-back mitten.  Wear the shooting glove underneath and when the deer shows just flip back the mitten cover off your fingertips.

Unless you know of one I don't, those mittens won't work with any kind of shooting GLOVE.  They work great with a tab though.

Finding a pair of gloves  to keep hands warm,has taken up a lot of my time . I shoot with a tab, and have tried numerous  gloves and combinations thereof. I finally purchased a quilted muff from Cabelas this year and will use the heated chemical things inside. I hate frozen hands and feet. Keep posting guys . Maxx

This is what I use with a three finger shooting glove.  Hand fits it great!!

When it's only merely cold I have fingerless wool mittens (just tubes with thumbholes) my wife knits that help.

When it's somewhat cold I wear wool fingetless gloves.

When it's truly cold I use a combination of Thinsulate Glommits and a fleece lined pouch I wear on my belt to keep my draw hand in.

When it's insanely cold I add fingerless wool gloves as liners to the Glommts.

Colder than that I add a log to the fire and stay inside.

When I first read that, I was thinking the "glomit" combination glove/mitten, not a flip back mitten.  :o
