Cold Hands!!
 

Hey all, I am a relatively new bowhunter and am currently in the process of purchasing new hunting gear for the upcoming bow season and need some advice or opinions on something. I always have a hard time staying on stand in the late season (here in WI) because my hands get cold or I always am fumbling because I have big thick gloves on.

So I was just wondering what sort of gloves/mits or whatever you bowhunters wear when you use a release and have to have the delicate touch of the trigger of your release? Do most of you wear thick gloves or glomitts and take them off when a deer is approaching or thin gloves and keep your hands in a muff or what? Thanks for all your help!!:)

I actually wear light gloves, but use a hand muff w/ hand warmers to keep my hands warm.

Bingo...

I'm so glad you agree w/ SOMETHING I do anyway.....LOL

RE: Cold Hands!!
 

I agree, but I will wear a heavier glove on my non release hand.

I wear a heavier glove on my left hand and jersey with finger tip partially cut-off, so I can slip it off when a shot arises...oh yeah, that pint of jack will help keep you on stand a little longer it does me-

I agree, and if it gets super cold you can always use one of those hand warmer packets

Gutting a deer keeps your hands warm, but otherwise anything that doesn't make your hands sweat. I layer with a thin pair of gloves with mits, that works for me at least. I'll just wear the thin gloves with my release strap over then throw the mits on and slide them off when I see something coming.

i gotta say, i have no use for underarmor clothing. tried it all, and i just don't like it compared to the helly hansen wool/polyproplene blends.

with that said, i was given underarmor thin gloves and a hat this year. They KICK BUTT!

i wore them late season bow, and duck hunting. excellent dexterity, super comfortable and TOASTY hands and head! HIGHLY reccomended.

I have been wondering about that stuff, i have wanted to try it but just can't justify replacing all my stuff I already use that seems to work just fine, and it is expensive. but I will try out the gloves now.

I don't wear gloves when I shoot no matter how cold the weather.If hand warmers in my jacket pockets don't keep my hands warm enough I will use an ice breaker muff with hand warmers in that.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM....LATEX UNDER YOUR GLOVES WILL HELP ALSO.. I PERSONALLY USE A LIGHT GLOVE....HEAVY GLOVES AND HANDS SWEATING=FROZEN HANDS...SLIP A HAND WARMER IN YOUR GLOVES

RE: Cold Hands!!
 

I use the Mossy Oak Pass Through gloves because they are very thin and offer great dexterity. If it's really cold I'll put on a pair of jersey glove over them with the thumb, trigger, and middle finger cut off of my release hand and throw a hand warm in each.

I use this guy.

Hey thanks for all of your input guys!! I have some really good ideas to try come this late season!!:)

RE: Cold Hands!!
 

I use the head mask from Under Armour and this thing works well. I will be using the gloves this season as well!

RE: Cold Hands!!
 

Try looking up Gray Wolf Woolens. They have wool mitts that are awesome. A little pricey, but will keep your hands warm and are made so your hands slip through when the time is right!

I use those Grabber 12hr warmers. Four or five of those bad boys in a muff is an awesome combo that WILL keep you hands warm.;)
