I wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with this or a similar product (link is for an example, I'd look at other makes);

I target shoot all year round, including the winter months, I will be out as long as it is above 20F degrees and not snowing, sleeting or raining.

Being retired, I am out 3 to 5 days/week.

I like to walk our club's 3D trail and shoot the bag targets that are left out permanently.

I switched to a tab in the mid 1970's and have not used a glove since.

I currently use a tab in the winter and carry an electric hand warmer in the pocket of my Columbia jacket. I keep my hand in the pocket between shots.

My current option ay be the best best for me but, I wanted to see if there was any response on the winter gloves.

I usually wear Leather gloves with thinsulate, can't notice any difference from a regular archery glove. You can't beat the system your using if it keeps your hand warm.

I use a tab also, and never found a shooting glove that was both warm and functional. I just wear a brown jersey glove and slip my tab over it when it's cold out. You may be able to do the same with a lightly insulated glove but thickness can become an issue on the shooting hand.

Don't ask me. I can stand in front of a wall of fancy camo gloves in the store, trying them all on multiple times, and cursing none are "perfect" for hours! I believe gloves are the weakest link in this sports clothing requirments, and if someone (ANYONE!) ever gets it right they'll be rich beyond belief. Most days I fall back to the old wool Army inserts, and use large choppers over those on the coldest of days.

I wear very thin gloves and an Asbell hand warmer around my waist, or, keep my hands in my pockets until I need them. I would prefer to never wear gloves, but my extra white hands glow.

Ive had my hands so cold while trying to get off a shot that when I warmed them up the pain was incredible . I have tried thin poly gloves but I think a small wool glove works best on my shooting hand and a heavy wool mitten on my bow hand . in between I keep my hands in a hand warmer with chemical heaters . the wool gloves are the same as linemen use inside of heavy rubber mitts used for handling live wires . The mittens are from Fox River and are the warmest thing I have found on my hands and still be useable for bow hunting . It gets colder in Canada than ND but cold is cold and we get plenty .

"I use a tab also, and never found a shooting glove that was both warm and functional."

Yeah, that was my experience, I used archery gloves for shooting in the early 1970's but soon switched to a tab. I have looked at gloves recently, more out of idle interest, but found things have not changed for me.

This is a definite concern for me, for trying a winter shooting glove, wanted to check into it, though.

Flip-top Glo-mitts for me, with a pouch on the back for a heat pack. The glove inside is basically there just for Camo, so if I found it bothersome, I wouldn’t feel bad snipping it out entirely.

Deer or elk gloves with thinsulate, work great.

Mine when it gets real cold.

When it's not real cold I just wear camo jersey gloves with three of the fingers cut out so I can slip them over my shooting glove.

^^ Same here. Only wool when cold, and cotton when warm out.

I use the GloMitts also, but I've stitched a pocket of fleece on the inside back side of the fingers to hold a hand warmer packet. The open end of the pocket is at the finger tip end. As I wait I fold my thumb into the mitt covering also. Thus also the tab.

In the photo the dark gray is the pocket, and the mitt is turned inside out for the photo.

IMO, those folding mitts are the way to go when it's real cold. Pretty sure mine are a cheap Wal-Mart version. If it's not cold enough for them, I don't need anything. If it's too cold for them, I'm staying home. - John

I use Alpaca gloves very warm.

I use those ragg wool glomits with thinsulate.They work with tab or glove.Only downside is I dont like how Hill style grips feel with them.No problem shooting my recurves with a high wrist.

Lancaster archery supply sells insulated shooting gloves, I think they are somewhere between $25 & $ 35.

Kustom King has some winter gloves that work great for me.I wore them all last winter and also worked for me using a tab. They held up well and buying another pair for backup

Glomitts here.. for really cold days, if it’s not below freezing, I use fingerless wool or alpaca gloves.
