I have and like my bear paw black glove but I need something with alittle more finger protection. I'm getting great arrow flight and clean release but I need alittle more protection. I enjoy shooting a tab but I get some scratching on my face from a tab. Even have tried shortening the tab to help eleviate the problem but I guess it's the way I anchor. I have searching gloves and suggestions from the gang but figured I would ask. Does the duraglove offer more protection than the bear paw black glove?
Thank for the help

I'm a big fan of the American Leathers Big Shot glove. Good finger protection while giving great string feel and a super clean release.

On the big shot gloves, is there a lot of difference in each model as far as leather thickness? I know it's personal preference or trial and error but for the ones that have tried different ones , do you like one model over the other.
I shoot a mid 50lb longbow.

I had them make one Big Shot with double layer of leather instead of the plastic insert.  Than had a Crossover made with a buffalo skin layer and outer layer is kangaroo.  Both shoot well, prefer the Crossover just a bit more.  But hunt with a ballistic nylon finger tab.  Coating of coconut oil annually keeps it slick.

I have a Buffalo Crossover with the plastic inserts. I get a great smooth release with it, best glove I have used.
