I hang my bow from a hook and don't hold it all the time. To cold, my fingers get numb! This coming season I will be buying a pair of the thin Under Armour gloves. The head mask works wonders when the temps are in the single digits so I'm hoping the gloves do the same! I only like to wear one glove as well, I also stick a couple hand warmers in my pockets when the temps are in the teens!
