RE: Picking a glove for bow hunting???
 

Lately I have been wearing the see thru gloves. When it is a cold morning I wear a thicker flap over glove on my bow hand and leave the other hand in my pocket. I cant get my hand in thru the wrist strap with it but I am confident that I wont drop my bow. You wont feel the cold when a deer comes into range and your ungloved hand is exposed to the cold. My experience anyway.

I use a thin cotton glove with the index finger cut off and then keep my hand in a muff. Works great, even in sub zero temps.

I am a finger shooter, but my wife usesa light way glove without the finger cut out.
I bought both of afleece hand warmer andadd the Hot Hands handwarmer inside the tubeular style hand warmer...This works GREAT!
We nevercomplain aboutour hands getting cold!!!

I buy camo jersey gloves by the 3-pack. I just cut a sliver in the glove on the palm about a 1/3 of the way up from the wrist, and put the release on before the glove, and stick the 'jaw' portion of the release through the hole in the palm. It looks kind of funny and wears the cuffs out on the gloves pretty quick, but it is easy to shoot.

Thank you all for the information. The redhead bow gloveswere looking really good until I saw the camo skinz from Cabela's. They are exactly what I was looking for in my climate and conditions. Rybohunter thanks for the tip and my glove is off to ya. :D

Davidmil,
You also had a great idea of keeping a warmer glove on my bow hand. I will also give that a try. I don't see any damge this can do to accuracy as long as I don't wear a glove with excessive grip on it.

To all others thanks for taking the time to log in and post. Having several options helps any person make a better decision and match a product to fit their purposes.

I use a swing-away release, so there's no need for gloves - you can easily keep your shooting hand stuffed in your jacket, in your pocket, etc.

If I must use a glove, I just use some super-tight, thinjobs. They're so thin that they don't bulk up on you. Like Rybo said, I think they're called camo skins or something. Picked them up at Gander Mountain for a few bucks. I usually keep one on my left (non-release) hand.

I race motocross. Motocross gloves are really tight fitting. They will keep you warm. And wont affect a release at all. Not camo tho. I think Troy Lee Designs makes a camo pair if you wana spend the money on them. If your interested heres Iron Ponys online selection of gloves. Just pick a brand and look at them. http://www.ironpony.com/ironponydirect/BrandPage.asp/Class3/Dirt%20Gloves/Class2/MX%20Apparel/Class1/DIRT%20PRODUCTS

I use Savanah Shooters. They are lightweight and tight fitting. They keep my hands warm for most of bowseason and like shooting without a glove on. When it starts getting really cold I just stick a couple handwarmers in my coat pocket or muff and stick my hands in there.

I have a problem with my fingers getting cold - fast (too many dislocated, jamed, or brokend fingers). I wear the warmest glove I can find, but it have to be big enough to wear over my release. The very first movement or sign of deer I see, the first thing I do is take my gloves off so I am ready to pull back and shoot when needed.
