ATbuckhunter Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 How many of you guys wear gloves while bowhunting? I've always avoided wearing a glove on the same hand I wear a release in fear it will effect my POI, but getting cold hands in November can get old real fast. I was thinking f getting some nice wool fingerless gloves so I don't loose the feel of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 No gloves for me while bowhunting 98% of the time, hand warmers ALWAYS though when I have the need. I'll use gloves to walk to and from the stand and also while climbing but I shoot WAY better without them. YMMV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyc50 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 i do and a face mask too I HATE paint plus it rubs off lite ones early season and a little heavier later on plus with the hand wamers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have a pair like these with the Velcro opening for a release to fit through. Very thin and not much for warmth. When it gets cold it's hand warmers and pockets and maybe I get cold for the important parts. I never wear heavy gloves while hunting unless it's sub zero. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I wear slip on mechanics gloves that I get for free. Never had a problem hunting with them. I would never in a million years wear gloves with Velcro bow hunting.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm a jerk. I tend buy nice lighter weight ones and then cut the end of the index finger and thumb off on it. Thats for compound.This season I got these mechanic wear leather ones. I'm going to try them with the recurve and leaving them intact versus gloveless with shooting glove on release hand.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I wear gloves even in warm weather for purposes of camo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACHINIST Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I just use a set of Jersey type gloves and a hand warmer when it gets colder.I use them all year.If it get cold enough I have a hand warming muff.My hands don't get cold anymore and when I wore "good" gloves my hands would freeze!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm on a never ending quest to find a good, thin pair of gloves that are waterproof and breathable. I do wear a glove on my bow hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp_bucks Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I only use a light weight glove on the hand i hold bow . Release hand sits in a pocket lined with toe warmers. Gun season is mechanic gloves tend to hold up better for most of the stuff i walk through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Yep for camo and warmth, roll up cuff of release hand . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlammerhirt Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Lightweight under armourarmour gloves are the best...buy them early and practice before the season. Also ditched any release with a wrist strap...to much bulk and not needed.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk I have like 4 or 5 light weight gloves including UA, but I only ever wear them on the hand I hold my bow with. As far as a wrist strap for my release, I haven't really had the need to change to a thumb release so why change whats not broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I think the idea is to have gloves that are big enough to easily pull off when the deer first comes into sight. It is rarely so cold that I cannot be bare handed for a few minutes while the deer gets into range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I don't wear gloves while bow hunting . Come to think of it , I don't wear them while gun hunting either . I have a nice pair of Scent Lock gloves somewhere in the house that I havn't used in years . No idea where they are . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I wear very light gloves for bow hunting. Gun hunting I usually don't wear any at all or just the same thin ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robhuntandfish Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Wear gloves on the way in and the way out. In the stand never wear them . Muff and hand warmers when needed. Im about as useful as a monkey humping a football with gloves on! Plus my hands still get cold in gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
