I've been shooting a Dura-Glove for years...in fact I'm on my 3rd one.  What glove do you shoot and why?  I'm due for a new glove and want to hear your opinions on others.  The Dura-Glove is actually the only glove I've ever used so I have nothing to compare it to.

I love the dura glove. It holds up well and I can feel the string with it. I like the release I get with it

The Big Shot from American Leathers is the only glove I need. I used my first one for 7 years of constant shooting before getting a back up. Definitely money well spent.

Shot the dura glove for many years, now my choice is big shot crossover when I use a glove.
shoot straight shoot often

Duraglove normally but they are too hot in september for me,so now Iam using the  fred bear glove neet is making. It is much cooler and just about broke in. I like it because the wrist strap has a snap instead of velcro, and the way it is designed is pulls the finger stalls just right when Iam drawing. I went with a medium and soaked it in water then wore it for awhile to stretch it out. Fits me alot better that way.

Shot duraglove for years, but recently tried a kangaroo glove Big Jim sells. It needed no break-in time fits great and you can feel the string. I don't know how long they last, but I'm impressed with it so far and they are very reasonably priced.

American Leather Crossover has worked well for me for the past couple of years. I'd buy it again. If it matters, I usually shoot wood arrows and use mid fifty pound bows.

This spring, got a Black Widow Stick-Tite glove from The Nocking Point that I really like.  They have 2 models--one with a layer of nylon webbing on the finger stalls that's supposed to give an extra layer of finger protection and a slicker string release, and the more basic model without the nylon.  I've got the basic model without nylon.

The glove is really well made, and the leather in the finger stalls is thicker than the Neet gloves I used to use-- protects the fingers much better.

For me, I prefer the model without the nylon webbing, because the nylon on top of the leather finger stalls makes the glove fingers pretty thick, and I don't like the comparative lack of string feel.  That's just my preference, though.

The straps that hold the finger stalls on the fingers are a neat design as well.  Instead of one strap on the back of each finger stall, connecting to the wrist strap, the Widow glove has 2 straps for each finger stall.  The 2 straps come from the front of the finger stall, go around each side of the finger to the back of the hand and connect to the wrist strap.  With this strap design, the finger stalls stay in place much better-- I'm not constantly repositioning them or jamming my fingers back into the stalls.  Not a bulky glove that covers a lot of the hand, so doesn't get too hot in summer.

Great glove for a great price (Under $20 for the model without nylon.  I think just a couple bucks more for the nylon-webbing mode).

Overspined

I use xover and another for backup. Big shot was good but I just love the feel one thinner xover, yet good stall protection.

Black Widow gloves. They're just plain durable.

I've shot American Leathers Big Shot for years and recently bought a Crossover. It's the best of the best, seriously improved my release and grouping.

American Leathers Crossover, the Bison leather has almost no stretch, very durable. By far the best shooting glove I've owned!

I've shot a lot of different gloves over the years and finally found the glove for me. I doubt I'll ever have to buy another.

American Leathers all the way. They have several models to chose from and they are all great. I really like the Kangaroo glove they are making now.
 
 

The glove on the left is the regular Bigshot while the one on the right is the Crossover... in Kangaroo.
