what do you guys use on your shooting gloves to soften ard weather proof. i just ordered a stick tite glove and was just wandering. never had a glove before always shot bare finger

I just got my new Damascus glove from 3Rivers the other day for my upcoming elk hunt. What I do is wash the glove with warm soapy water to remove the excess dye, rinse well and put it on my hand to custom fit it. I then take if off and let it dry completely. I then put it back on and give it a liberal coating of Montana Pitch Blend(any good leather dressing will do) and hand rub it in. The hand rubbing heats the leather and dressing for good penetration.
 I do this with every new glove I get and every once in a while to remove the sweat and salts from shooting.

I need to do my boys Damascus after we were drenched Sunday on the last 3 targets! I have been working it a little bit so it isn't so crusty next time he wears it. I neeed to get some Montana Pitch, heard good things about that stuff.

Montana pitch blend for me as well. Use it on anything leather from my glove to my quivers.

Go to a regular sporting goods store and hit the baseball glove area. Get the "Wilson Premium Baseball Glove Oil".

It's great stuff and cheap. Like $4.

Montana Pitch Blend...it will darken light colored deer skin gloves but works great.

Shoot it. Talc, not starch, powder the stalls every so often. Obenauffs, if you must.

Montana pitch blend for close to a year but before that it is used to be one of my gun oils - Ballistol.

Good tips. I've just been wetting and wearing and drying and shooting.

Mink oil for me.

Lexol from any auto parts store. My son went through 15 years of baseballing, and I went through 17 years of rodeoing before that, so I have owned and used up a lot of about every kind of leather conditioner there is. Lexol is good stuff and easy to use.

Lexol is also light. Montana Pitch Blend is mink oil, and mink oil is extremely good for heavy, less soft leather, but not always the best for soft stuff like elk skin or deer hide, etc.

thank for the info i was thinking of the m pitch oil thats what i use on all my leather
