Title: Leather Glove 4 Shooting
Post by: tracker12 on November 13, 2013, 11:20:00 AM
I am considering usig a good quality leather gloove during the colder times of the year.  Anyone just buy a good quality calf skni glove to shoot?

Hmm  A glove can have a positive or negative impact on my shooting.  Would think shooting forum would be the best location.  Maybe I did not phrase my question right.

Don't see why it wouldn't work if it fits tight enough.
I buy a decent pair of hunting gloves and cut the middle fingers off my right hand. Then force my shooting glove fingers through.
Works quite well with chemical hand warmers.

I was thinking about this today as the wind was blowing and my right hand was colder than my left. I wonder if there are any thin wool gloves that would work with a shooting glove..?

Bought wool gloves and cut off three fingers. Works perfect!

just did a search and there are some merino glove liners as well as fingerless gloves. Looks like an easy fix.

I just ordered a pair of gloves from american leathers. You might want to check them out just trim the glove and put my big shot glove over the fleece glove.

Fingerless wool gloves with thinsulate. Wear your shooting glove under it. You will be happier.

I cut the 3 fingers out of a cotton glove and wear my shooting glove under it.  Combine that with a strap on hand warmer with a chemical warmer in it and I stayed warm.  Last week when I got in the tree it was 16 degrees and reached a high of 30 and my hand was fine all day.

I think it's imperative to have your tried and true tab or glove touching your bare fingers like it is all year to shoot well so I do like the others, cut off the 3 fingers and thumb and put my shooting glove over top. Then I can stick it in my pocket to keep warm.

I shot with a pair of fingerless wool gloves this evening with my tab.  Worked great.
