Title: What's up with the newer Alaska Bowhunting Supply Superglove
Post by: mjh on June 17, 2013, 12:26:00 PM
I've used the ABS SuperGlove for a long time, great cordovan fingertip and durable shooting glove.  Was at the Coon Rapids shoot looking my favorite vendors supply of shooting gloves and low and behold they have changed the glove, for the worst IMHO.  Thinner strechier leather, nylon on the edge (most likely to keep the thinner leather from ripping) sure the cordovan was good quality but what the heck!  I tried several on and couldn't find the best fit so I didn't buy one, I would have bought one the that was a little bit off in fit if they were the older ones with the qualities I liked but on the new gloves, no way!  Good thing I found an unused one in my box of gear I'm set for a while.  I don't mind paying for quality but I'm looking around a little bit for a good shooting glove, the ABS glove might not be my next buy,,,,,maybe I'll switch to a tab???

Before you switch to a tab consider an American Leathers Big Shot. I've used mine for over 5 years and it is still in great shape. I keep trying tabs to see if any of them work better then the glove, but nothing feels as good.

switch to a tab - ha - good one! I use the Black Widow Gloves, I think I have all of them but mainly use the "Super Glove" with the cordovan overlays on the tips.

While I have tried the AL Big Shot I did not like it so much, granted I borrowed it for a little while from a friend and really haven't owned one to put it through its paces.....perhaps it's an option down the road, tried the BW website and it's not coming up so I'll look later...

The last one I had the velcro came off of it. I bought a blackwidow glove and like it better.LCH
