Description
The October Mountain Shooters Glove is a classic three-finger leather glove made for traditional archers who draw and release off their fingers. It covers the index, middle, and ring fingers where the string does its work, leaving the back of the hand open with just a narrow leather strap so your hand stays cool and free. The tan cowhide is soft right out of the package and only gets better once it molds to your fingers over a few sessions.
What Sets the October Mountain Shooters Glove Apart
The reinforced fingertips are the heart of this glove. That extra layer buffers the pressure of the string against your fingers, which matters most on recurves and longbows where every shot lands on the same three pads. The form-fitting cut keeps sensitivity high so you can still feel the string and time your release cleanly, instead of fighting a bulky glove that muffles your feel. It works equally well on the range and out in the field for hunting.
Fit and Feel of the X-Large October Mountain Glove
An adjustable Velcro strap wraps the wrist so you can dial in a snug fit and keep the glove from shifting mid-draw. A quick note on sizing since it comes up a lot with these gloves: they tend to run on the smaller side, so if you're between sizes or have larger hands, the X-Large is the safe call. The finger length stays the same across sizes, with the larger sizes mainly adding wrist strap reach. Because it's cut symmetrically, it can be worn on either hand depending on whether you shoot right or left.
Built from handcrafted premium leather with clean stitching, this is a straightforward, durable glove that does one job and does it well. Break it in with a handful of shooting sessions and it'll feel like a second skin that saves your fingertips for years of shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the October Mountain Shooters Glove run true to size?
These gloves tend to run a little small, so most archers size up if they're between sizes or have larger hands. The finger length stays consistent across sizes, with the bigger sizes adding more wrist strap reach. If you have big hands, the X-Large is the one to grab.
What type of archery is this glove meant for?
It's built for traditional and barebow shooting off the fingers, like recurves and longbows. The three-finger design protects your index, middle, and ring fingers right where the string rests. It handles both target practice and hunting.
Can I wear the October Mountain Shooters Glove on either hand?
Yes. The glove is cut symmetrically, so it works on your left or right hand depending on which is your string hand. That makes it a solid pick for both right and left-handed archers.
Do I need to break the glove in?
The leather is soft to start and breaks in quickly with a few shooting sessions. Once it molds to your fingers it feels like a second skin. The reinforced tips cushion the string pressure while you get it worn in.
