Description
If you shoot a recurve or longbow off your fingers, you know the string will let you know about it after a few dozen arrows. This is where the October Mountain Shooters Glove earns its keep. It is hand-crafted from soft, premium cowhide and built around a three-finger design that covers the draw fingers where you need protection most, without wrapping your whole hand in leather. The back of the hand is a slim strip, so your skin still gets to breathe between ends.
What the October Mountain Shooters Glove Does on the Line
The reinforced fingertips are the star here. That extra layer of leather sits right where the string rolls off, cushioning the pressure so you can shoot longer sessions without your fingers screaming at you. The form-fitting cut is thin enough that you keep a real feel for the string, which is exactly what traditional and barebow archers want for a crisp, consistent release. It is a solid pick whether you are flinging arrows at the target range or spending a long morning in a treehunting stand.
Getting the Fit Dialed In on Your Tan Shooters Glove
This is an X-Small, so it is cut for smaller hands or younger archers just getting into finger shooting. Like most quality leather gear, it may feel snug straight out of the package and will break in and mold to your hand over a week or two of regular shooting. An adjustable Velcro wrist strap lets you cinch it down for a secure, snug fit so it stays put through the draw. The three-finger layout works on either hand, so lefties and righties are both covered.
Archers tend to reach for this one because it strikes a nice balance: enough leather to save real wear and tear on your fingers, thin enough to shoot with feel and control. Broken in, the supple cowhide starts to feel like a second skin, and it holds up to plenty of shooting over the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the October Mountain Shooters Glove for archery or firearms?
This is a traditional archery shooting glove made for drawing a bow off your fingers. The three-finger design and reinforced tips protect your draw hand where the string rolls off. It is a go-to for recurve, longbow, and barebow archers.
Does the X-Small run true to size?
The X-Small is cut for smaller or younger hands. Leather gloves like this often feel snug at first and then break in and stretch to mold to your hand over a couple weeks of regular shooting. If you are between sizes, keep in mind the cowhide will give a little as it wears in.
Can I wear the glove on either hand?
Yes. The three-finger design is ambidextrous, so it works for both left- and right-handed archers. Just slide it onto your draw hand and cinch the Velcro strap.
Will this glove let me still feel the bowstring?
That is one of the reasons archers like it. The leather is thin enough to keep good feel for the string, which helps with a clean, smooth release, while the reinforced fingertips still buffer the pressure. It strikes a balance between protection and sensitivity.
