RE: American Leathers--Big Shot
 

I got it, but had to send it back. After several attempts, I couldn' t get one of my fingers in all the way. When I got it in about 1/2-way, it went numb in a few minutes. I know they are supposed to fit very tight to begin with, but the one finger was a bit too snug. Needed a couple of other modifications to fit me right also, so I made a new trace, included some notes, and sent it back. Hopefully my new one will be here soon.

I was curious, I tried a friend' s (Rogue1, Wayne Wallen) Big Shot glove Saturday, but it was too big for me. I guess I could get used to one that fit, but the fingers seem overly padded & stiff. Can' t feel the string at all, but Wayne says that what he likes about it. Sure is a high quality glove, and I wouldn' t go through 4 or 5 gloves a year like I do now (wear a hole in the ring finger). I' ve also got used to a palm type glove. Oh well......... decisions, decisions........That' s what we get for messing with all this high tech stuff like nylon finger stalls.
Have you melted down in that Mississippi heat? It' s not been too bad here in Kentucky this summer.

I' ve heard they get a lot better once they are broken in--I' m always looking for something to help compensate for my release!

Been pretty hot here, but not as hot as usual for August--don' t think we have hit 100 yet (heat index has been way over 100, but not the actual temp). Since the summer has been cooler than usual, I' m hoping for a cold winter--come on Oct. 1st!

Once they break in and you get used to them, you will like them. When I got my first one and started shooting it I thought NO WAY, after 2 weeks I ordered a second to have 2.
I love mine, but like they say about opinions, everbody has one.
As with anytime you are dealing with change, it takes time.

RE: American Leathers--Big Shot
 

Got my new one today, and it seems to fit perfectly--they made the exact changes I requested. Hope to try it out later today and see how I like it--if it works out, I will be ordering a spare.

Well Chad, are you going to give us a report on your new glove? I still haven' t ordered one, been pretty busy, & haven' t had time. I was curious how you liked yours too.

I haven' t had a chance to shoot with it much, but I am liking it more and more. The first time I shot with it, I only had time for a dozen or so arrows, so I really couldn' t tell much about it. The next time, I shot a round at a friends course, along with several practice arrows. Did ok, but it still felt foreign to me, and I swapped back to my Super Glove for the second round. Yesterday, I tried it again, and soon forgot I had a different glove on--I figure when I get it broken in, I will like it a lot. Not sure yet if I will order a back up right away, but this one is a keeper at least.
