I shoot a tab currently.  Here in Iowa we are looking at well below zero temps during this late season.  What's the best way to keep your shooting hand warm?  

Right now I'm just using a thick glove and have been practicing with it some.  It's just a regular winter thermal glove, nothing made for shooting.

I like ragwool glomits...the heavy pair I'm still wearing is no longer made or alteast I cant find them anymore.  Glomits are a great glove for tab users (and glove for that matter).   If you need more for the finger tips wear a really super thin poly pro liner underneath.  I dont need it but you may.

i don't wear anything on my hand, but have a muffler that straps around my waist. Yeah, i know, almost like ones little girls wear, but its camo. I bought one and its great. Don't knock it till you try one.

I wear a pair of thin under armor gloves and use pocket hand warmers if i need to.

I wear a thin or medium glove with the 1st. 3 fingers cut off of my shooting hand . Then I also use one of those hand-muff warmers with a couple pocket hand warmers inside----works great!

Ditto on Ben's. Bought a $10 pair of lined wool gloves, took three fingers out, and wear a Damascus glove underneath.

The shooting muffs are great, especially with the chemical hand warmers inside. A thin knit glove under the tab will also help for the time when you take your hand out of the muff to get ready to shoot. You really don't need to cut off the ends of the fingers on the glove if it is thin enough. I don't and it doesn't affect my shooting.

Thin pair of Under Armor gloves and the big hand warmer in my coat pocket, hands never get cold.

Besides seeing a lot of deer   :bigsmyl:   I hang my bow and wear fingerless wool gloves, I keep them in my pockets with hand warmers.

I agree with bornagainbowhunter! I don't wear a glove. I have a screaming eagle sheep muff and slip a chem pad in. It has always been warm enough to allow me to go with just the tab. A great set up! Jon

Handwarmers, the big ones, two in each pocket!

COMBER

A friend of mine that shoots a tab uses a big fur lined leather pouch that attaches to a belt and keeps a hand warmer in it. He keeps his hand in there till its time to shoot.

I agree....a handwarmer muff with a chemical hand warmer inside.  I shoot with a glove and sometimes wool fingerless mittens over it.  If I use both, the mittens and muff, it has made my hands sweat at times.

my wife made me a large pouch (that has a belt-loop), she used an old army OD blanket for the outside, and on the inside she took a section of an old fur coat and lined it...I have hunted in zero degrees and so far I don't even need a hand-warmer in it...I just put my shooting hand in it each time it gets cold-it warms it instantly...I LOVE the thing

handwarmer and muff. Just don't get pink. Makes folks look at you funny

I bought a pair of those thinsulate mossy oak half-finger gloves that have the flippable mitten doohickey-thinga-mijigger on them.

They are the magnet kind, not the velcro. The thumb even flips back.

I stick a thinner Demascus glove right inside of it and leave it there. The fleece feels great against my face. No noise, no fuss, no problem.

Didn't even notice it was there when I shot my deer.

One other thing, esp. with the thin gloves......if you don't have a leather, rubber, etc...wrap on your bow handle--your hand will FREEZE if you have to hold it very long when a deer is around in very cold weather---mine do anyhow!  I'm defintely gonna try one of those thin slip-on grips for some extra insulation......

I also use the same as "limblover"----the flip-back glo-mitts; but the thin gloves and hand-muff works better for me in the COLD............
