Who hunts with gloves on?
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.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.

shooting:
Thin Jersey gloves all season. If it's really cold, I'll take my handwarmer muff and put a couple of hothands inside
Bow hand only. and I even practice for weeks before season with it.
No ifs and or buts Just maybee.
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!
