I just got a berlin style glove from 3rivers...one shooting session on a 45# bow and one of the fingers has torn. spoke to 3rivers and they told me this glove isn't made for those poundages...im going to return it not sure what glove im going to get now....I was very surprised how fast it got tore up...it seemed on the thicker side compared to some others

I've been shooting a tab for the last ten years but just switched to an American leathers crossover glove.  I've been using it with my 57# Howard Hill longbow and 52# Bear Take-Down and I'm really pleased with the fit and release.  The owner of American leathers essentially made me a custom glove-large finger stalls, extra large body length and double x-large wrist strap. It fits like the proverbial glove.  I had picked up a used one on st Jude auction and it didn't fit the way I wanted so I sold it on the classified ads but gave modifications based on the fit to American leathers and they knew exactly how to modify. Well worth the investment.

American Leathers Big Shot Crossover. They are pricey, but last a very long time.

When I use a glove the American Leathers Bigshot Crossover for me. Great finger protection and smooth release.
