Who hunts with gloves on?

[shootstraight]

Have always bowhunted without gloves. Keep them with me but am quick to take them off if something shows up or I hear noise. Never did shoot with them on. I use a light weight (thinsulate) glove that is tight and form fitting from Cabelas. Well this summer switched to a thumb release and a couple of weeks ago thought I'd try and see if it affects my shooting. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I can shoot just as well with my gloves on. :cool: Just curious what you guys do.

gloves always, mesh ones if it is really hot

I shoot with gloves on just fine. Of course its not very cold in Louisiana and my gloves are tight fitting and made of some sort of synthetic material. Cheap Wal-Mart gloves, but they keep my white hands from standing out too much.

No gloves for me. I have been a target archer too long, and don't like to feel around for that perfect anchor point.

Well that's what I thought too, before I tried it. I can feel my anchor fine, I was quite surprised.

No gloves for me! On my bow hand in late season and thats it!

[KDS]

Thin Jersey gloves all season. If it's really cold, I'll take my handwarmer muff and put a couple of hothands inside;)

[Maybee-R]

Bow hand only. and I even practice for weeks before season with it.:)

Yeah, when it's 20 degrees out you can bet I'm wearing gloves. Something warm for my bow hand and something light for my drawing hand. I even cut the first three fingers off a right glove so I can use my shooting glove when I'm hunting with my recurve.

If its really cold a thin glove on my bow hand but my BT release is no glove!

I've got some cool black ones that have a rubber palm to grip better and they are awesome for shooting. See in pic

Looks similar to mine, I've typically used a glove on my bow hand but have never been able to use one with a strap release. Since I switched to a thumb trigger it works great.

I tried out those Under Armour gloves and man I love those things! I can wear them under my wool military liners when it gets real cold if it ever does. Why did they ever put nature in the hands of a woman? It should be Father Nature! :p:D

I kind of stumbled onto the same thing. I put some gloves on and did some shooting last year. I found that I shoot the same with or withot gloves.

For hunting in the winter I have to wear gloves. In the summer for competition I wear real thin ones. I dont like the ones with any rubber or gripping material. I like when I pull back the bow allways slides into my anchor point.

[Clean Shot]

Depends on the day, but I practice with and without gloves on to be ready.

[Scablands]

I always use cheap cotton gloves, $3 or $4 a pair. Primarily to camo my hands as I hunt from the ground but they also have the benefit of making it hard to grip the bow. I used to shoot fingers and used them as a shooting glove, better at letting the string slip away than any glove I ever had. They didn't last too long without wearing through on the string, esp. w/ a brass nock, but generally got through fall practice and hunting season. When it gets cold I slip some fleece gloves over the top.

I always wear gloves.. when it's warm I wear the Under Armour thin gloves and now just picked up some "release" gloves for the cold and really like them.

[apeaston]

I always wear gloves. When it is worm I wear a pair of thin scent blocker gloves and when it gets cold I wear a pair of polypropylene liners under the scent blocker gloves. I have not had any problems with either combination.

gloves that have a hole so the release can go through before the cuff of the glove goes around your wrist

Personally, cold stiff fingers affect me more than gloves - I have a thin pair of fleece bowhunter gloves and that's usually enough. If it's cold enough, I have a thin pair of Under Armor liner gloves that I put underneath. I can't stand cold hands - years of trying to stay warm in a treestand I guess.

If it's real cold.. I also use the Ice Breaker muff with handwarmers inside.. There's nothing like a nice warm muff :D
