Damascus Doeskin Glove
Excellent
Ranked #2 of 7 finger tabs & shooting gloves
$14.99
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.
Standout feature: Thin doeskin with reinforced tips — the feel-the-string glove for traditional shooters.
