growalot Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 That's a great looking product.....nasty pics....Yeeeooowww...why I buy new arrows every year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFieldArcher Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I have had arrows snap very easily when inspecting them, didn't see any cracks or splinters but a little bend did it... I guess if the crack starts inside and a bend doesn't do it but the next shot will... anyway, the glove felt good and will be great on cold bow season mornings, the kevlar protection for only $30.00 was an easy decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Just to let you know, 3 layers of Kevlar is not going to offer any protection from a direct hit, and very little protection from a glancing blow of a broad head. As matter of fact a broad headed arrow would have little trouble penetrating a bullet rated vest if it didn’t have a trauma plate in it.

As matter of fact a broad headed arrow would have little trouble penetrating a bullet rated vest if it didn’t have a trauma plate in it. Unless you are still using the old overdraw, you should not be worried about the broadhead. The kevlar is to protect against snapping arrows, carbon arrows have a caution on them to inspect your arrow before shooting, but if you miss a crack and the arrow snaps when shot... the kevlar should protect against the damaged arrow. The manufacturer shot the glove with damaged arrows and none of the carbon fibers penetrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 i am not sure 3 layers would stop a snapped arrow there's alot of stored KE in that arrow any test done on the glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFieldArcher Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yes, the manufacturer had a test, shot snapped carbon arrows into the glove with gel in them, none of the fibers or arrow penetrated the glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
