I'm looking for a thin shooting glove. I have always shot a tab but am trying to switch to a glove. Problem is I never really liked the thick finger tips of the gloves when I anchor in the corner of my mouth. Any suggestions? Thanks...Mike

good ol damascus glove thin and flexible

shot with a tab for years but switch to a shootong mit last year
getting used to it now
like it better than the tab

Tramp,

What is a shootong mit and where can I look at one?

I think you probably meant shooting mit.  
Same question though.

Mike,
May be referring to this Super Mitt Tab

A Damascus glove is about the thinnest glove you can get.

I wanted a thin one to "feel" the string,after awhile I decided because of the pain I didn't want to quite feel the string as much as I thought.........

I recently switched to a Duraglove and while it is thicker in the tips,it also has a smoother release with the synthetic enforced tips.

Of all I've tried I keep going back to the Berlin Deerskin glove. It's built much like a Damascus but maybe a hair thicker making it a bit more durable. If you like the Damascus you would like the Berlin glove.

I also really like my Buckscout glove but they're not made anymore. I'd love to get my hands on another of those.

I've shot a couple of gloves...shot tabs for about the last 4 years....went back to a glove after this past deer season (lost 2 tabs while hunting)....I've tried the 3Rivers Archery Duraglove.....a Berlin style glove with cordura on the finger stalls.  Nice, comfortable, feel the string and slick.
Hope this helps.

Damascus gloves are indeed thin.  I get good feel and a much better release from a Grizzly glove though.  They have proven a very popular glove.

I would personally not want one for a bow over 60#, I'd want something thicker.

Thanks all for the help.

I second the Grizzly, it has become my preference with Big Shot a close second for the heavier poundage bows..

I've shot gloves for years, Damascus, Berlin, Super Glove, and now Dura Glove. In order I like the Super, Damascus, Dura, Berlin. Berlin tips were too thick, Dura fingers didn't feel right, Damascus didn't stand up too the wear and tear, Super glove fit best, and had the best feel at release.

Something you may want to consider is shaving down a tab (such as one of the Neats) so your index finger tip is bare when It contacts your mouth.

I now use a different anchor point, but found this technique useful in the past.  I've tried numerous gloves (the Damascus is my favorite), but eventually settled on the Neat tab with the finger spacer).

Mike the first thing is what pound bow?
I never liked thick gloves so for the once in a buffalo mitt. Till I was tired of getting calises. I got a America leathers John Schultz glove and have never looked back. Took a 4 times at the range, but never been better.

A good deerskin glove gives you the feel of the string as well as the protection of the glove.  I tend to hunt in the cold, so shooting with an actual glove always seemed like a good idea to me.
