OK... So last year I cheaped out on stuff since it was my first year bow hunting (for some stuff) One thing I never went big on was gloves... I have some cheap Wal-Mart Remington gloves. The temperate ones are not bad, the cold ones suck. Need some suggestions for gloves.
Check out www.basspro.com They have an amazing selection of hunting specific gloves. For maximum dexterity, I wear thinner gloves which also allow me to put my release to the same setting I practice with. Other gloves to consider are any Under Armour gloves. The Cold Gear liner glove is absolutely the best glove I have ever bought. To keep my hands warm, I use an Icebreaker hand muff. On especially cold days, I wear heavy insulated gloves for on the way to and from my hunting spot, and switch to the lighter ones once I get set up.
Believe it or not, what I wear mostly when the temps drop below 50 or so is green military wool glove liners... Think you could come up with some of those?
I played around for years with a glove system that fit me. This past year I switched over to the UA gloves and some other similar type gloves and a hand warmer. The hand warmer is easy/warm and it sure beats having to stick your hands in some thick gloves and then having to stick your hands into your pockets. I believe I finally found my system.
yeah, got a ton of those lying around, most of them with the index finger cut out... might have to give them a try I am concerned since I switched to a Scott Caliper Release that my glove choice may be more critical. So that may actually work.
I actually never cut my index finger off as I try to shoot my caliper with more back tension than laying on the index and squeezing... though in actuality it's probably a combination of both. Sort of a thoughtless process for me at this point... Anyway, what I wanted to say is you can do it two ways: you can put your release on and THEN pull your liner up to it, and the wrist part will be bunched up in front of your release (this is the way I do it 90% of the time), or if you don't like that "bunched up" feeling, you can pull your liner on and THEN put your release on. I just don't get the right "feel" for it though when I do it that way. I've also got a ton of other glove options at my disposal (everyone here would literally freak if they saw my hunting wardrobe ), but it seems I keep coming back to my military liners time and again for the most part.
i got the rocky scent iq bowhunting glove. they fit great and have a place for your release to come out. i got mine at d1cks but heres a link. you can get them for about $20 http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/rocky-siq-bowhunters-glove.aspx?a=671600
I have always used regualar camo jersey gloves. For warm temps, I have the index finger cut out. If it gets really nasty cold then I pull out a pair of fleece gloves.
Same thing I do. Even in temps below zero. The only difference is, when the temps get really cold, I wear a chopper mit on my bow hand and have a handwarmer in it. Love my UA gloves!
I wear scentblocker slt gloves early season into november and then switch over to a heavier scentblocker fleece glove or under armour.
I'm a big sissy when it comes to cold temps and my fingers and toes, but last year I was wearing nothing but my Under Armor cold gear gloves all the way through late season. The only time my hands got cold was a hunt wear I forgot my bow hook and had to hold my bow all night. The combination of the cold riser and dropping temps without my hands in my pocket got to me, but they are the best gloves I have. I love them.
I use these they work fairly well and are still pretty cheap. http://www.poorfish.com/p-4094-jacob-ash-full-finger-black-neoprene-gloves.aspx
