Comments about American Leathers Schulz-Insert Shooting Glove:

It's a good glove but the size is small. I bought medium and had to wet the glowe and stretch it. I put in a lot of force but it didn't break. It's tough stuff. I like it a lot and now it has a perfect fit.

I have mostly been using similar Howard Hill style gloves for over two years now and I am very glad that I have finally moved over to the Traditional Schultz Insert shooting glove.

The finger stalls on the Schultz are substantially longer than on similar traditional glove products offered, giving more protection. At the same time, the pigskin construction offers more string feel, especially compared to the heavy latigo leather traditional gloves that I have used.

The finger stalls start out tight and stretch with use, so there is a break-in period, but I have found it to be minimal. From previous experience I have found that if your fingertips start to throb after you have first jammed them into the stalls, order a bigger glove.

My one criticism is that the glove that I received had the stitching placed so close to the edge on the middle finger stall that it made the edge curl under every time I put my finger into it. I had to resort to a small screwdriver to uncurl the edge and stretch the pigskin on my fingertip for the first two or three days of use before the problemed stall stretched and formed to a different shape under the pressure of the string.

I principally use a 60 lb. draw yew English longbow and I find this to be by far the best glove for my shooting so far. I have tried a lot of other leather gloves. The lighter gloves gave me good string feel, but after an hour of use they led to me repeatedly damaging my fingertips, even after the callouses had built-up. The heavy latigo leather traditional gloves gave me adequate protection, but a very limited sense of string feel.

The Schultz glove is consistent with a traditional bow and will work with reenactment events. The finger stalls don't fly off with every other shot, even when I am shooting out in the cold, like they did with my old Howard Hill style glove. My accuracy has increased markedly with the Schultz glove, and the stalls feel very comfortable and natural now. If you shoot a bow that has a 50 lb. draw or more, this is by far the best shooting glove that I have found so far. It offers the best of both worlds, protection and string feel.

I have used this glove this weekend for target shooting. I hope to use it one day for hunting.

Comments about American Leathers Schulz-Insert Shooting Glove:

The finger stalls on this glove are too narrow. I do not have large fingers and a size large didn't fit. For $[...] the stitching could have been better, overall not worth the price. For someone with really skinny fingers this glove might work.

Construction is top notch, but I don't care for the nylon inserts. I guess they are there to distribute the string pressure on the finger tips but they only make it more diffficult to grip the string. Overkill on the finger protection. This would be the perfect glove without the inserts.

After brief 'break in period' even with a badly broken index finger it was the finest glove I have ever owned, and I own many. This glove may be the finest made an worth the added cost. May last a lifetime.

I use a Neets closed end glove (large) and am getting tender fingers. I ordered the Schultz Insert glove for some relief, but neither the Large nor Extra Large sizes would accomodate my fingers. The stalls are too narrow for my finger diameters. I continue to buy Neets Large and change gloves when they get too soft.

As a hunting glove for heavy bows 55#-73#, I find this is the only glove that protects the fingers and holds up to heavy use. The cordovan traditional is smoother on release, but not as built-to-last.
