October Mountain Traditional Shooters Glove Brown Large Archery

Description

This is a classic three-finger shooting glove built for archers who draw with their fingers rather than a mechanical release. It slips over the three drawing fingers and shields them from the bite of the string, while the narrow leather strap across the back of the hand keeps things breathable instead of wrapping your whole hand in leather. The reinforced fingertips take the brunt of the string pressure, which is where wear shows up first on any glove like this.

What Makes the October Mountain Shooters Glove Tick

The glove is hand-crafted from soft cowhide, and it shows in the feel. The double-layered tips buffer the string without deadening your sense of the release, so you still get that connection to the string that traditional archers care about. An adjustable hook-and-loop wrist strap dials in the fit and keeps the glove seated where it should be through the shot. Being a three-finger, open-back design, it wears comfortably on either hand, so lefties and righties are covered.

Getting the Right Fit From Your October Mountain Glove

Leather gloves like this tend to break in over the first few range sessions and soften up nicely once they mold to your fingers. Sizing runs a touch snug based on what archers report, so if you're right between sizes or have wider hands, it's worth leaning toward the larger option. This one is the Large in brown, a versatile size for most adult hands.

Range Time and Field Use

This glove handles well with lighter to mid-weight recurve and traditional bows, which covers most target shooting and stump-shooting sessions. If you're pulling heavier poundage or holding at full draw for long stretches, you'll feel more of the string, so pairing it with solid finger conditioning helps. For everyday practice, hunting, and casual target work, it's a straightforward, good-looking piece of gear that does its job and lasts.
