Comments about Bowglove:

I just started in traditional Archery,and am very glad that I found Three Rivers.I purchase a bow glove to wear on my right hand to help me hang on to a Martin Recurve.I'm naturaly right handed,but have Macular degeneration in my right eye,so wa-la I've become a lefty at the age of 54.The bow glove serves it intended purpose as I planned.I have plans for a modification,that I'll share on a forum in the future.The bow glove is quality thru and thru,soft and flexible very comfortable to wear.I would reccomend it for shooting any type bow {not just primitive with no rest}.

Comments about Bowglove:

The bow glove is a really good item! Since I only like to use primitive type bows where you shoot off the back of the hand, it's really usefull. Too often I've been out shooting and I've had to stop because the fletching whould be making my hand raw - but that's not a problem now! :D

Comments about Bowglove:

I use this glove when I'm target shooting and it provides great protection to my bow hand. I shoot a 85# Yew English Longbow. I have no complaints with this product.

Comments about Bowglove:

This glove is a must have for the archer using a primitive bow that does not have an arrow rest. The first dozen arrows I put over the glove tore at it a bit which means my hand would have been a mess. I put some fletching glue on the front point of the feathers to help smooth things out a little bit as well. The glove doesn't heat up my hand and is very soft and comfortable. Don't know how long it will stand up to the constant slashing of the feathers.

Comments about Bowglove:

Glove fits and feels great.

Comments about Bowglove:

I like this glove a lot, because I can't even tell I'm wearing it. Very comfortable. Wouldn't mind seeing the arrow rest leather a little tougher. Mine is showing cuts already from the feathers on my ST Epics from a weekend of shooting. Like another reviewer, I found a feather sliver in the glove which would have been painful and deep in my hand otherwise. A must have for primitive bow archers.

Comments about Bowglove:

Perhaps I should have purchased a larger size. It's not worth sending back so I'll stick with it a while longer and maybe it will stretch a bit?

Comments about Bowglove:

I use an English longbow, so the arrow rests on my hand. This glove is a must for hand protection. I found a small sliver of feather imbedded in the glove, which would have been in my index finger if I had not been wearing it.

Comments about Bowglove:

The glove does what it's supposed to do.

Comments about Bowglove:

This was exactly what I needed to protect my hand from those nasty cuts. Thanks

Comments about Bowglove:

Good idea. Protects your hand when shooting long bows with no arrow shelf.

Comments about Bowglove:

This is a great thing to have if you shoot off the knuckle. No more worries about a fat quill cutting you.

Comments about Bowglove:

I really needed this glove to protect my hand using my primitive bow with no arrow rest. It made a big difference to have that added safety.

Comments about Bowglove:

Very good product and a must for protecting the hand when shooting off the nuckles. No mure fletching cuts!

Comments about Bowglove:

This is one great product that was simply sitting there waiting to be born!!!

Comments about Bowglove:

Useful thing for protection.

Comments about Bowglove:

I shoot mostly Hungarian and Mongolian bows. Have used climber's gloves to protect the hand seating the arrow because of the additional padding. Other guards I've used are cumbersome and fit badly, affecting the release. This is the best fit so far and much less expensive than climbing gear.

Comments about Bowglove:

This glove allows your hand to act as the arrow shelf. It is excellent for use with selfbows and traditional longbows, providing protection and a firm grip. It is durable, comfortable and looks good, too. Highly recommended.

Comments about Bowglove:

Wonderful glove feels great easy way to shoot off the hand I would highly recommend for even experienced shooters.

Comments about Bowglove:

Works just as described. Excellent product.

Comments about Bowglove:

Several people having seen this glove wanted to know where I got it. They had made their own and they didn't know where to get one that wasn't homemade.

Comments about Bowglove:

Glove is great if you dont have a shelf on your bow. I have shot with just skin and it hurts if you cut yourself with a feather! I wouldn't say it is poor quality construction but it is starting to show a little bit of wear after shooting 2-3 times a week for about 3 weeks.

Comments about Bowglove:

Just what I was looking for. I got real tired of feathers cutting my hand. I tried tape, band aids (would peel off when hand got sweatty) and a full glove (too hot). I'm thinking I may buy a second one just in case they stop making this (which I hope they don't).

Comments about Bowglove:

What can I say, it does its job. I'm not getting marked up from the fletching on my hand. However, I could probably make just as good a pair with an old pair of gloves, meaning less money spent.

Comments about Bowglove:

I WOULD BUY AGAIN - I SHOOT IN CHEROKEE AND CREEK NATION MATCHES

Comments about Bowglove:

This product really works. No more feather cuts from arrow passing over bare knuckle.

Comments about Bowglove:

I bought this for a friend who kept getting his hand sliced by his fletchings. He reports that it exceeds all expectations.

Comments about Bowglove:

Not needed for off hand release just protect the flap of skin between index finger and thumb does this fine but due to too short "sticky" wrist fastening, is cumbersome to fit on/off.

Comments about Bowglove:

This is a great glove for the money. Soft leather and good protection for the hand. I wear it even when shooting off the shelf because it helps with gripping the bow.

Comments about Bowglove:

I was designing a glove for myself to use with my Kassai bow and was doing pretty well, but when I saw that 3Rivers was stocking this glove, I immediately ordered one and am very pleased with the fit, feel, construction, and cost. I would love to see one of these with sealskin instead of smooth leather, but anyway, I'm happy with the glove.

Comments about Bowglove:

This glove protects your bow hand from cuts of feather fletching. It is very comfortable to wear.

Comments about Bowglove:

The bowglove is just what I was looking for. It offers protection from the sting of the fletching without the bulk and discomfort of a full glove.

Comments about Bowglove:

I have been active in archery for over 53 yrs.and have tried many accessories for my bows (compound, recurve, longbow) and have found the bowglove satisfactory to use. My only wish is that the top leather would be tighter. When holding bows with no arrow rest the top (dark) leather has too many folds. For years I have used a skin tight handball glove but it is rather uncomfortable in hot weather.

Comments about Bowglove:

Allows shooting from either left or right side of bow hand. Normal draw, one above two below, Three below, or Thumb release.

Comments about Bowglove:

This is a great product for begining shooters, as my wife will not shoot without it,This glove prevents fletching cuts on the fingers for beginers. This one item may be the best thing to keep new shooters firing more because it prevents painfull cuts to the fingers.

Comments about Bowglove:

For those who shoot off the knuckle or whose bow hand is very close to the arrow shelf, this glove offers great protection. It's lightweight, comfortable, and once used, will become a 'must-have" part of your shooting gear. I love mine.

Comments about Bowglove:

I use a yew English Longbow (i.e: no arrow shelf) and it has been difficult to find a women's leather workglove or garden glove that would fit my bow hand but not be too loose in the fingers, etc., for shooting. The new bow glove actually fits where it's supposed to and is much cooler for the hand than a full leather glove has been.

Comments about Bowglove:

The only problem was the velcro closure could be angled slightly away from the hand for a more secure closure. Otherwise, this glove both stopped the occasional cutting of my knuckle and absorbed most of the string slap.

Comments about Bowglove:

Great product, keeps your bow holding hand from getting shredded by arrow feathers.

Comments about Bowglove:

Before getting this product I was constantly getting cut from the fletching. I highly recommend this product.

Comments about Bowglove:

This glove is much more comfortable and less restrictive than the modified work gloves I've made and used over the years. This Summer will be the true test, but so far I feel I've gotten more than my money's worth. There's no annoying seam to get in the way or split open when the errant fletch bites in. The only ding I can give it is the prominent company logo, that kind of detracts from the appearance if you do reenactment.
A note to potential buyers though:
Using the measurement instructions in the catalog told me I only needed a medium size glove. I'm glad I stepped up to Large. It's a snug large, but it fits. I'm afraid a Medium wouldn't have.

Comments about Bowglove:

Hunting & target, very well made product. no down side.

Comments about Bowglove:

Excellent for shooting in the summer, keeps the hand cool instead of having to wear a full glove, while still providing protection.
