Best Archery Shooting Gloves

The Damascus 3-Finger Glove is the thin-leather traditionalist's favorite — soft doeskin deerskin with reinforced fingertips, prized because the thin hide gives strong contact and feel with the string while still protecting the fingers. It handles bows up to about 55 lb and comes in four sizes, either hand. For traditional and longbow shooters who find a suede glove too clumsy and a tab too detached, this thin doeskin sits right in between.

The Neet FG-2L is the entry point to shooting gloves — a tan suede three-finger glove with smooth leather fingertips and an elastic back that snugs it to your hand. Made in the USA, it gives traditional shooters the direct, feel-the-string connection a glove is for, without the price of a hand-tooled one. At $18 it's the natural first glove for someone who's decided they prefer a glove to a tab.

The Bearpaw DOA is the shooting glove as a piece of craft — soft REACH-compliant deer leather, leather-reinforced double-stitched fingertips, German Gütermann thread, hand-embossed with milled brass dies. It's the glove for the traditional archer who wants the best hide on their string hand and doesn't mind paying for stitching that outlasts everything cheaper. At $46 it's the premium end of gloves, and it feels and lasts like it.
