Title: Kustom King Shooting Gloves??
Post by: Bobby Urban on June 19, 2013, 12:33:00 PM
just looking for feedback on the KK gloves - not tabs.  Any +- info - I am looking at the black glove as it is somewhat insulated but also the Buffalo and cordavon.  

Thanks for any info

The black fabric glove with the cordura fingertips is great!  I think its called the Bear Paw..?  Does not groove/ great string feel, and I enjoy shooting it on bows up to 90#.  Very lightweight and comfortable no matter the weather, can be comfortably worn over cotton hunting gloves and still maintain good string feel.  The only other glove I've liked as much is a Damascus leather glove from 3Rivers, but its only good on bows 55 or less.

Yup that's the one, Bear Paw 'Black Glove', love it!  It has held up well for me, can snag on thorns out in the woods sometimes and fabric can get little frays, but nothing a lighter can't fix.  It is very durable overall, I just love the fact that it doesn't groove at all.  Very quiet release too.

I have a black glove and their deerskin glove. I have girly fingers and needed more protection but both gloves hold up very well and feel great.  They are my loaners/bowfishIng gloves now.

I've had the speed for 2 years, and it has really held up.  The thick materials make the string feel a little too thick if you know what I mean.  But it shoots well.  I did rub a bit of wax into the cordua tips.

Does the Speed Glove have decent protection for the fingers?

I have 3 of them, but the material on the index finger comes apart on all the gloves. I just heat it up and melt it back together. I do really like them and the price is just right.

I got a black glove in January and shoot with it every day.  I am wearing through the black fabric now on two fingers on the back side of the seam, opposite side of the string contact material. I still love the glove's feel and quiet release.  Good wet.  No crease at all and nice sting feel.  Good glove for the price, but I am going to try the dura glove next.  I fall between a medium and large.  With the black glove I went medium and got a nice fit and no break in needed right out of the package.  With the speed glove I would go large.
