Default Neoprene glove for finger shooters.

I just saw this elsewhere and had to share.
It's a shooting glove made for bowfishing, made out of neoprene so it holds up to water like my Mechanix Gloves do.

I sure would use them. I have no-gloves on my recurve now and they pinch my fingers between them and the arrow. i'd give the neoprene-ones a try.

I normally have the nogluvs on my bowto reduce the pressure on my fingers,AND wear Mechanix Gloves too formessing withgar and overall easier handling of fish.

Even with that combo, I STILL ended up with a nice blister during a 24 hour Carpbusters tourney this year. Had to shoot the last 3 hours with it. Ouch.

When somebody tries these, remember to check back here and report on them. Thanks

Is your bow too short? Try a nock point below as well as above the arrow. It will give you a little more space. I use a short 50# recurve and don't get that pinch. Haven't gotten blisters in a couple years either, but going 2 to 3 times a week helps build callusses.

How many bows do you have that you need so many noglovs? They don't wear out - I'm using the same set for five years running. And I got to thinking about the string pinch - why would there be less pinch using gloves than with the noglovs?

I have a PSE Coyote. It's not short at all.It may be the way I hold it with the nogloves on it, but I get pinched between the noglove and the arrow. When I'm just using the glove, there's no noglove there to catch my finger against the arrow. Maybe if I move the bottom one down a little more.
