Let us know how it works for you. I'd suggest putting it and leaving it in a glass of water and using it wet for a while. That's what I have done in the past with these types of gloves.

My favorite is the ABS Super Glove--I soak a new one inside and out with Montanna Pitch Blend, let it sit overnight, then use it--speeds up the break-in time a lot.

im thinking about doing something like that with this one...but i was always taught with leather that you just have to use it and thats the best way.....
i read somewhere that back in the daypeople that worked with skinswould chew on the hides to soften them up....after 20 years or so there teeth were dead flat. Saliva along with the chewing, broke down the leather and softend it....i dont think im gonna chew on my glove tho.
whats Montanna Pitch Blend??? or whats simular to it?

Montana Pitch is pretty good, and smells even better. But to me, it'sa bit sticky. I prefer sno-seal (atsko), but thats after I have soaked it and used it for a while. With the sno-seal, I heat the leather a bit (near a lightbulb), apply it, and re-heat it again. Some people prefer hair dryers. It's great for boots also.

I have some Sno-Seal, but the smell concerns me. The MPB soaks in and dries up, at least on my gloves--I re-apply it once or twice a year to help keep my glove soft and (hopefully) make it last longer. I also have some Stone Mountain leather protector and some Rocky Boot Grease, but they also have a chemical smell to them--smells like shoe polish to me. I have enough trouble with MS whitetails as it is!

This is odd, but one day I was hiking in the woods and I had to pee so I went by an oak tree, then I left that trail and came back 30 minutes later and a Buck with decent sized antlers was standing right next to were I urinated, I didn't expect that so he ran off into the underbrush and was gone. Anyway, I wondered if deer are attracted to human pee ( i was upwind i think), or if it was something in my urine that attracted the buck..... i dont know but im gonna pee on scrapes and set up near that trail with my mini-bow and try to shoot it, but i know with a 25 draw weight im gonna be chasing this thing down till it dies, im gonna load up on mountain dew before the hunt...... Also, i was wondering if since my bow went only about 80-100 FPS, if a deer could be able to dodge the arrow from 20-30 yards away, but my bow barely makes any noise when i fire ir.....so.

I would not use a 25 pound bow on a big buck. Chasing it down untill it dies is not ethical. You want to shoot the most weight you can to cleanly and humanely kill the animal so it does not suffer. I believe that your bow will not penetrate enough to reach vitals from anywhere farther than 10 yds, if that, but you should not attempt it anyway because an old bruiser buck would have some tough hide to penetrate. You would not want to chance wounding such an animal. I would immadgine that there would be some weight restrictions in your area you should check this before you hunt.
