Stick - Tite is a good glove , just needs a little break in time. Black Widow sells them.

One of the many models of Damascus glove. May not be any cooler, but stalls won't come off your fingers. Check out 3Rivers' offerings.

Yep - Lefty nailed it. Black widow stick tite. They sell two kinds. One with nylon on the fingers for a more slick release and one without the nylon.

Shot a Hill glove for awhile .Just don't like something jammed on my fingers all day hunting. Much prefer a tab.

Tab works great with my Hill style bows. Never did like a glove cause my fingertips can’t feel anything thru the leather.

Another vote for the BW Stick Tite. It is designed to stay tight on you fingers before and after the shot. And it does just that. It does take some major break in time. I was shooting AL Big Shot for years. Then tried a tab. Now the Stick Tite really liking it. I did not get the nylon overlays the standard offers as much protection as my Big Shot. And for for the price you cant go wrong. Ordered mine from BW had it in about 3 days excellent service!! Oh and I also like the longer finger stalls I like to roll the string as a draw into a true deep hook.

Don’t give up on the Hill glove if you like it! There is quick and easy way to help keep those stalls from slipping off. Along with wax and spit (which are absolutely effective if your glove fits), what you can do is shorten the strap on the back. Start by snipping the stitching off the wrist strap and remove it from the strap that attach to the finger stalls. Then cut whatever length you need off of the base of the strap that connects to the finger stalls. Glue the wrist strap in place and using the existing holes in the wrist strap as a guide, punch the holes with an awl through the connecting strap then hand stitch it back on. A stitching tool works very well and is a handy little tool if you don’t have one. Next thing ya know, you’ll be making your own gloves!

I use heavy waxed thread from Michaels craft store

Pm if you have any questions.

I hurt a finger before a out of state hunt and needed something to keep the stiches from pulling out. Ron Laclair fixed me up with a 3 finger glove made from pig skin. It worked so well I never switched back. Still have the original blood stains and all.

I have a Kangaroo Crossover glove going on 5 summers. After to many experiences with the same issue you have I bought a size smaller. Yes, I shoot in 100*+ temps and I sweat like crazy. Only thing I had give out on my glove was the Velcro on the strap which was easily replaced. Yes, the glove is pricey but for all the money I wasted on Damascus gloves I could have 3 or 4 Kangaroo Crossover gloves.

Another vote for the Stick-tite glove. Stalls stay put. A friend turned me on to these a few years ago. They work great. I personally like the plain ones.

Bearpaw Speed Glove is both inexpensive and effective.
