I sure like Fred's glove with the compass on it. Does anyone make one like it these days?

Make your own, sew a compass into your glove.

Thanks D, i'm pretty handy but I'm a little rusty on makin a cordavan open palm shooting glove. Walmart is out of cordavan here in Mississippi.  

Joe, I use a glove with a palm strap and an old '54 Kodiak compass in the back that's been in several gloves since the seventies. There is an Amish community near me that has a shoemaker and he makes mine for me now. He does excellent work, very reasonable. He's just a bit tough to catch in the shop and it's pretty remote.I'll send you a picture of mine and a pattern if you like.   Grant

come on Grant, don't let him get away with that picture !!!

Joey , I use to have bow just like the one Fred is shooting....hey Ya ever get my turkey call,  

Mark!!!!!! PM me your address.....Thanks Grant, it would save me alot of time if you just sell me yours !!!!!  :D    :D  ...i would love the pattern. Does yours have nylon stalls or straight cordovan?

Joe- My glove is made out of French Veal dress shoe leather and I use oiled heavy leather for the stalls with no re-inforcement. I've been shooting this one for a couple of years with heavy use and haven't had a problem with excessive grooving. I did have him build one with the overlays like the bigshot but didn't care for the bulk. I have some Silva compasses that are European Nato compasses- they work very well but are plastic and fractionally smaller than the brass one in my main glove. You are welcome to one. I'll pm you those pics and I may be able to set you up here.        Grant

Uh-oh!!! Wheels on the TradGang!!! Well, I guess we'll let this one pass since it's Mr. Bear.

Joey, Shoot a tab...they're easier to make and put a compass with a string around your neck.  You'll never be able to see it with that Martha Stewart wreath anyway     Doc

I can't even comment on that pic!

QuoteUh-oh!!! Wheels on the TradGang!!! Well, I guess we'll let this one pass since it's Mr. Bear.
 

Yes but, he is shooting instinctive and it looks like off the shelf.  

Oh gosh...I didn't notice those pully tips....my bad...THANKS GRANT YOUNG........I always found it interesting Papa Bear shot off his knuckle....Look how he pulled it back to the barb....Make me proud this spring Doc!.....

Can anyone guess "where this pic is from?"

Joe,

Not sure what you mean... "where this one is from"... but I was there when it was taken. So I know where it was taken.

Now that's cool    

Here's a hint ...This pic appeared in a Bear Archery slick.

i have always been fasinated by Mr. Bear. I wore my Boy Scout uniform the day my hometown gave him and AMF/ Bear Archery a parade trying to attract that industry to our small dusty MS delta town. Those Fl. crackers won out!`
