Looking for something that has some good finger protection. I have shot Damascus types but my fingers need more protection.
Bigshot from American Leathers. Only glove I will use.
2nd on Bigshot gloves!
Let me start by saying I am not speaking poorly of the Big Shot. It is a high quality glove for sure.
But, for someone with my purse strings or similar income, I would HIGHLY recommend the Black Widow PDQ Super Glove. For the price of the Big Shot you can get three BW PDQs and likely never have to buy another glove for the rest of your life. I bought two when I made my purchase. The first one shows little signs of wear and the tips are the thickness I need in a glove. I like the deeper fingerstalls that go to the middle joints of my shooting fingers.
If you buy a BW PDQ Super Glove and don't like it, PM me. I'll buy it off you as long as it's a large. I'm that confident in this glove.

Quickest way to get loads of suggestions will be to do a search here on pow wow about gloves. Many lengthy threads on that question.
As for me, I went from a deerskin glove to a Damascus; loved the string feel, but ended up wanting more protection also. Went for an American Leathers Fullshot. Almost gave up on it at first, took a lot of getting used to, and some breaking in. And now I wouldn't give it up.
Big shot is the best glove I've tried. They last forever.
my bigshot woreout after a couple years, the nylon is fraid and stitching coming apart, so I got a blackwidow pdq. must have got a bad one.
American Leathers Big Shot!
E.W. Bateman cordovan leather glove. Available also from "The Nocking Point", one of our sponsors. Provides all the protection you'd ever want, lasts well, doesn't string groove easily. I may need one more in my lifetime, but I'm not sure.

x2 - The Bateman, with the cordovan leather that string will always go "slip, sliding away". I have had two of the for the three years. Can't tell there is any wear. :thumbsup:
American Leather Fullshot or the buffalo leather glove by them.Best glove in my honest opinion
American Leathers Big Shot or Big Shot Crossover. Great glove and great people to deal with.
I really like my NEET traditional glove with cordovan overlays. It only costs $20. It is as good as any glove I have ever used, although it takes a few hundred arrows to start softening up the cordovan tips. Once they are broken in the glove is hard to beat. Great protection and smooth release. The threads holding the cordovan on could wear out, so I just painted them with superglue. Now that won't be an issue. If you want people to look at you and assume your an expert archer than I would buy a big shot. I am just happy to have a long lasting glove that protects my fingers and provides a clean release.
Neet glove with the hair left on the fingers does the trick for me and my son.
The Super Howard Hill Glove with the Inserts are Great! I wont buy anything else now!
The Speed Glove by BearPaw is a really good glove.

X2 on the Speed Glove.
I like my Fullshot a great deal.
American leather hands down the best glove
Howard Hill Deluxe Glove. Great finger protection.
I like and shoot with a Big Jim deer skin glove, great protection.
American Leathers Crossover for me. love it!
American Leathers full shot for me .
I'm on my last Berlin glove now.
I did purchase and now breaking in my first American Leathers glove and it is a Big Shot model.
It's a little early to say now but I think I'm going to like the Big Shot glove.
