Default RE: Sightless compound with fingers?

I have used neatsfoot oil, saddle soap, but have found sno-seal to be the best product. It' s the same product I use on my boots. I give the glove a very light rub of the snow seal when the hunting season is over. You have to be careful b/c it makes the fingertips a bit slippery. I work it into the leather and then rub the finger tips against some fabric to remove the excess treatment from the surface of the tips where I contact the string. While it is important to treat the leather, it is the ends that are exposed to the weather the most and as such they get " dried out" the mosts. You can always treat the backs and sides without danger of it getting too slippery, but the business end of the tips need some attention too. You just have to be judicous about it so it doesn' t become too slippery. I' d advise you to go " SLOW" with the application of any of this treatment stuff so you can see what it does to making the grip" slippery" . You may decide it is not for you and you may wish to just buy a new one when it gets weathered too much. If thats the case, when you find one you like, buy several!
