Description
The Damascus Doeskin Shooting Glove is built for archers who want to feel the string, not fight through a thick, stiff layer of leather. Where a lot of full-palm gloves put too much material between your fingers and the string, this one uses soft, thin doeskin that gives you real tactile feedback at the moment of release. That sensitivity is what makes traditional shooters reach for a glove like this over a heavier design.
What Sets the Damascus Doeskin Glove Apart
The thin doeskin is the star here, but it isn't fragile. The three fingertips that actually contact the string are reinforced, so the spots that see the most wear hold up over a lot of shots. You get the sensitivity of a light glove with enough durability to keep it in the quiver season after season. The smooth leather facing on the tips also helps the string roll off cleanly for a consistent release.
Fit and Sizing on the Small Doeskin Shooting Glove
This is the Small, and it's an ambidextrous design that works for right or left handed archers, so you don't have to worry about ordering a specific hand. An adjustable Velcro wrist strap lets you dial in a snug fit that stays put through the draw. To size yourself, lay your hand flat and wrap a tape measure around the widest part just below the knuckles, above the thumb, then match that number to the size chart. Doeskin has some give and breaks in fast, so a close fit is what you're after.
Who the Damascus Doeskin Glove Suits Best
This glove is a natural fit for traditional and recurve shooters running bow weights around 55 pounds and under. If you're pulling a heavier longbow, a beefier glove might serve you better, but for most instinctive and target work the Damascus hits that sweet spot between protection and feel. It's a proven, no-nonsense pick that plenty of stickbow folks keep coming back to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Damascus Doeskin Glove fit both right and left handed archers?
Yes. The glove uses an ambidextrous design, so it works for right or left handed shooters right out of the package. There's no need to order a specific hand version.
What draw weight is this doeskin shooting glove best for?
It's recommended for bow weights of about 55 pounds and under, which covers most traditional recurves and longbows. If you're pulling something heavier, a thicker, more heavy-duty glove will hold up better. For instinctive and target shooting in that weight range, the doeskin gives you an excellent feel of the string.
How do I choose the right size in the Damascus glove?
Lay your hand flat and wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your palm, just below the knuckles and above the thumb, then match that measurement to the size chart. This listing is the Small. Doeskin breaks in and softens quickly, so aim for a snug fit rather than sizing up.
Why doeskin instead of a cowhide or nylon glove?
Doeskin is thinner and more supple than cowhide or nylon, which lets you actually feel the string for a cleaner, more consistent release. The tradeoff is a lighter glove, but Damascus reinforces the fingertips so the high-wear areas still hold up well over time.
