Default Winter Bowhunting Glove Question

I am going to Bass Pro in a couple of weeks when I go to the Harrisburg show and was wondering what sugestions you guys have for a good winter bowhunting glove. First let me say I only use one glove when sitting in my treestand just to hold my bow my realease hand I put in my pocket. The weird thing is the hand I hold my bow with gets colder than my other hand in my jacket. I am looking for a glove that is warm but can still hold my bow right when shooting somewere between 15 to 30 bucks would be goodI have a gift card.Thanks

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!

I have a pair of madd gear gloves that are called archers choice, I used them during all the cold months. They are real warm, and I wore them on my shooting hand and never had a problem.

i wear thin gloves on both hands and keep my bow hung up and my hands in a muff around my waist. the one i have is fleece lined and is super warm, in fact i take my hands out once and awhile to keep them from sweating. If it gets real cold you can always throw one of those little hand warmer packets in there. I think it is easier then messing with bulky gloves, plus they are usually fairly inexpensive

I use a thin jersey glove and only hold my bow when I have to. If it is really cold I'll put a hand warmer inside of my glove and slide it forward when I need to shoot. Since only the heel of my thumb is touching the grip (or should be) the hand warmer doesn't affect my shot.

Hang your bow up with one of those screw in things. The hand holding the bow gets colder because the bow is cold as heck in the winter. If you need larger gloves to keep you warm, just get one of those gloves where the pointer finger pulls back and your trigger finger can tough the release. If you practice with those gloves, you will get used to it. People always talk about not being able to shoot with anything but their bare hand. I can tell you, one can shoot a bow just fine with a larger glove as long as they practice with it. Also, if you only feel comfortable with smaller gloves, get a hand muff. Those things will keep your hands very warm so you can wear thin gloves.

Sometimes I hang my bow on the hook but when it gets close to dark I like to hold it sometimes to be ready.

I generally use the same gloes rather it's 40 or 5 degrees (Mossy Oak bowhunting gloves). As the temp drops I just start using hand warmers and keep my hands in my pocket. Don't like holding my bow much, unless I hear or see something coming...
